JBoss Hibernate Technology with Exam

Overview

Relational persistence for Java through the Hibernate application stack

The JBoss® Hibernate® Technology course gives Java™ developers the knowledge and skills required to leverage the powerful Java Hibernate Application Stack. Through clear interactive lectures and hands-on labs, students are introduced to Hibernate essentials and internals along with its practical applications and best practices strategies. By the end of the course, students will have learned the best practices to leverage Hibernate to produce and maintain well-designed, robust business applications while optimizing performance and reducing software maintenance costs.

This course includes and prepares students for the JBCD - Persistance Exam (EX297).

Course Outline.

Understanding Java Persistence

• Learn how JBoss® Hibernate® effectively answers the question of how to represent relational data in an object-oriented environment.

Getting started with Hibernate

• Deploy a simple application leveraging core Hibernate mappings and persistence features.

Hibernate projects and tools

• Use available JBoss Developer Studio Hibernate tooling to analyze a project's domain objects.

Advanced Hibernate mapping

• Extend Hibernate entities with built-in and user-defined types, and develop robust identifiers.

Entity relations and inheritance

• Use advanced relational mappings to manage uni- and bi-directional associations, and map Java™ inheritance to database tables.

Persistent state and transactions in Hibernate

• Examine how Hibernate manages the relationship between the data in a table and the values in an entity, and associate these state changes with a unit of work.

Querying data efficiently

• Learn how to leverage Hibernate fetching strategies, query options, and filters to produce efficient queries.

Design and best practices review

• Learn the basics of Hibernate design patterns and best practices, and how to apply them to build efficient Hibernate systems.

Hibernate configuration and deployment

• Use Hibernate's highly adaptable framework in a variety of application types, from simple Java standalone applications to full-fledged Java Enterprise class deployments.

Hibernate advanced frameworks

• Hibernate supplies advanced tooling to assist developers in the areas of testing, validation, search, and spanning database instances.
