Advanced Hibernate™ Training Course
Course Summary
Advanced Hibernate Training course is designed to push students' OR/M skills to the next level. We skip the basic introduction of what Hibernate is and how to set up the basing mappings, and we move straight to the advanced topics, such as: filters, named queries, complex associations and mappings, advanced HQL, searching by example, Criteria API, transactions, versioning, fetching strategies, performance tuning, and best practices.[top] Duration
3 days.
[top] Objectives
By taking Marakana Advanced Hibernate Training class, you will:
- Understand Hibernate search capabilities: named queries, searching by example, Criteria API, advanced HQL, filtering, etc.
- Be able to model complex entity relationships: one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many, bidirectional, etc.
- Learn how to protect the state of your data through locking (e.g. versioning) and transactions
- Be able to tune the performance of your Hibernate code through optimized fetching strategies and caching.
- Learn how to diagnose and troubleshoot problems in your Hibernate code (e.g. the infamous LazyInitializationException)
- Be able to follow best practices in designing, writing, maintaining, and testing your Hibernate code
[top] Audience
This course is designed for Java architects and developers.
[top] Prerequisites
Students must have solid understanding of the Java language and be familiar with the Hibernate fundamentals, such as simple mappings, basic configuration, basic HQL, and Hibernate's Session API.
Previous exposure to Java EE, and SQL can be helpful.

After graduating with a Computer Science degree from University of Cape Town, South Africa, Martin spent 13 years developing his career with WorldGroup consulting, starting as a Java programmer and ending his career there in 2005 as Chief Technical Officer of a company selling a J2EE infrastructure based product set to Fortune 500's. In 2005 Martin left his position and founded Javadojo, a company dedicated to building cutting edge delivery platform's in Java and hiring the best Java people in the business. Martin has been an educator for the last three years teaching open source technology across the globe.
Additionally Martin has been producing electronic music for the last few years using Ableton Live. He has released two albums and has been playing his music live around the US and at festivals such as the Coachella, Shambhala and Burning Man festivals. More about Martin Folb...

After ten years teaching Computer Science in a University I left in order to apply those skills in a commercial environment. Since then I have gained wide experience in helping many large corporations add value to their IT staff resource by upskilling, cross-training and mentoring developers in the latest software technologies.
My work with some of the world's most successful corporations has given me deep insight into the effective application of appropriate software tools and techniques in today's commercial environment.
My overall strengths include excellent communication and training skills, substantial knowledge and experience of the Java platform and XML technologies, proven judgement in the selection of emerging technologies, and an intelligent, mature approach to any new challenge.
I continue to invest heavily in keeping my knowledge and skills up to date in Java and XML for the enterprise, the relevant programming techniques and libraries, system architectures, and applications. I have retained an enthusiasm for the technical subjects I teach, which has often been commented upon in course evaluations. More about Michael Callaghan...

[top] Additional Notes
Depending on the student needs, this class can focus on JPA/Annotation-style (preferred) or XML-based Hibernate mappings.

Marakana.com Runs on Java using Hibernate
Marakana.com is written in Java using Spring and Hibernate frameworks. We deploy it on Apache Tomcat Application Server. Both Marakana Spark and Apache Tomcat are Java applications and thus run on Java Virtual Machine. Spark uses MySQL database for persistence. Our operating system of choice is Ubuntu Linux, for security and reliability reasons. So we practice what we teach. You will learn from real developers.
