Spring and Hibernate Development

The Spring Framework is one of the leading lightweight architectures for creating enterprise-scale applications in Java. Hibernate is a popular object-relational mapping tool, and is well-suited to Spring-based solutions. This course provides thorough coverage of both technologies, and shows how they can be used together effectively.

You will learn how to use Spring to create enterprise-scale components including Web applications, Web services, data-access components, and messaging components. You will also learn how to use Hibernate to map Java classes to databases, and how to execute queries using a variety of techniques.
