It goes on to cover all the important capabilities of Spring 2.0, including using Spring to simplify the creation of a persistence layer with JDBC and/or persistence frameworks like Hibernate, and using Spring's Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) to program cross-cutting concerns such as transactions and security. The course also includes a solid introduction to Spring's Web MVC - a Web framework based on the powerful Model-View-Controller pattern. This module covers the basics of Spring MVC, and how it supports organizing your Web applications in a highly structured, loosely coupled manner.

FastTrack to Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 and the JPA

The Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 specification is a deep overhaul of the EJB specification that is intended to improve the EJB architecture by reducing its complexity from the developer's point of view. It leverages annotations (introduced in Java 5) and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) technologies to eliminate the dependence on complex EJB APIs, allow POJO (Plain Old Java Object) based development, and provide an effective technology for creating distributed, transactional components, and for mapping relational data to an object schema. This course provides thorough coverage of the EJB3 technology including new concepts such as the use of annotations and the use of Dependency Injection to initialize references. This course also includes in-depth coverage of managing persistence using the Java Persistence API (JPA). It uses hands-on labs and a well-paced approach to make this complex technology understandable in an accelerated fashion. You will come away with a comprehensive understanding of EJB and the important issues that need to be considered to use it in real world applications.

The course goes on to cover all the important capabilities of Spring 2.0 / 2.5, including using Spring to simplify the creation of a persistence layer with JDBC and/or persistence frameworks like Hibernate, and using Spring's Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) to program cross-cutting concerns such as transactions and security. The course includes a brief introduction to Spring's Web MVC - - a Web framework based on the powerful Model-View-Controller pattern. This module covers the basics of Spring MVC, and how it supports organizing your Web applications in a highly structured, loosely coupled manner. The course also includes a brief introduction to Spring Security which was integrated into the Spring project when Spring 2.5 was released. This module includes an overview of the Spring Security architecture, and how to use it to secure both Web application requests and bean invocations.

Java: Fast Track to Hibernate 3 Developers Workshop

Hibernate is an open source object/relational (OR) persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate lets you develop persistent classes following common Java idioms - including association, inheritance, polymorphism, composition, and the Java collections framework. The Hibernate Query Language, designed as a minimal object-oriented extension to SQL, provides an elegant bridge between the object and relational worlds. Hibernate also allows you to express queries using native SQL or Java-based Criteria and Example queries. This course covers everything you need to know to begin working with Hibernate in a very short time. It covers all the important concepts necessary to access and update data stored in relational databases. It includes an extensive series of labs to exercise all major capabilities.
