P. T. Fischer - B. Murphy : SPRING PRESINTENCE WITH HIBERNATE

Persistence is the foundation upon which many applications are built. The suc-cess or failure of a project often hinges on how its persistence tier is architected. Spring and Hibernate take the guesswork out of designing these integrál com-ponents, helping you to enforce solid coding practices and reduce coupling between layers or with external frameworks.
Learning the fundamentals of these two amazing open-source frameworks is just the beginning. To get the very most out of Spring and Hibernate, you must understand how these components behave, and learn best practices for integrating them intő an application. An efficient, flexible persistence tier can only be built on proven design patterns and strategies that address common requirements such as caching, lazy-loading, and transactional semantics.
This book will not only teach you the features of Spring 3 and Hibernate 3.5, it will alsó guide you through the essential steps of building a real-world application—addressing common pitfalls and considerations along the way. We will introduce you to best practices and tricks that we have learned from years of hands-on experience, and that you too can apply to your own projects. As a bonus, you will alsó learn about two exciting state-of-the-art projects that build upon Spring and Hibernate: Grails and Roo.
Spring and Hibernate are two of the most popular open-source frameworks, for very good reasons. This book will show you why so many Java projects rely on them, and teach you how to reap the evén greater benefits of using them together.
