Spring Persistence with Hibernate

Overview of this book

<p>Spring is the leading platform to build and run enterprise Java applications. Spring's Hibernate integration makes it easy to mix and match persistence methodologies simplifying your Hibernate applications. You can incorporate lots of Inversion of Control (IoC) convenience features to address many typical Hibernate integration issues, making this integration all the more favorable for your application. <br /><br />This easy-to-use book will turn the complex-sounding integration into a straightforward walk-through. Persistence is important for creating a data access-based transactions tier, central to financial, insurance, and banking applications. You will be able to enhance your applications using the most common, advanced, and optional features of Hibernate.<br /><br />This book starts with the philosophy and the brief history of persistence. It provides an introduction to how persistence frameworks and technologies came into the development scene and what problems they are aimed to solve.<br /><br />The book continues with a discussion about Hibernate as the most popular persistence framework in Java. First, you will learn how to get Hibernate and add it to a project and how to configure it before it can be used. Next, you will get an in-depth knowledge about Hibernate and understand the essential concepts behind persistence with Hibernate and more. When Hibernate has been fully discussed, you will get to know Spring as another popular framework in Java, and have a look at essential features of Spring and its added value for Hibernate-based projects. Finally the book will provide a comprehensive discussion about using Hibernate with Spring and the problems that are solved with Spring.</p>

Getting started with Spring

Chapter 1 introduced the Spring services that are typically involved in an application's persistence tier. At its core, Spring provides Inversion of Control (IoC). This is the main functionality with which Spring aims to simplify application architecture. IoC affects all other services provided by Spring.

Here, we'll take a quick look at Spring IoC.

A simple case

In the educational system application, assume that a nonfunctional requirement indicates that before execution of any of the application classes setter methods, the setter method name, the old value, and the new value being set to the property are printed in the application console, a database table, or a log file, based on administrator preferences.

To handle this, the application uses three different classes, shown as follows;

SetterInfoConsolePrinter as this:


package com.packtpub.springhibernate.ch03;

public class SetterInfoConsolePrinter {
  public void print(String methodName, Object oldValue, ObjectnewValue...
