Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate explores persistence with the most popular available tools. You'll benefit from detailed coverage of Spring Data JPA, Spring Data JDBC, Spring Data REST, JPA, and Hibernate, comparing and contrasting the alternatives so you can pick what's best for your code. Begin with a hands-on introduction to object-relational mapping (ORM), then dive into mapping strategies for linking up objects and your database. You'll learn about the different approach to transactions for both Hibernate and Spring Data, and even how to deliver Java persistence with non-relational databases. Finally, you'll explore testing strategies for persistent applications to keep your code clean and bug free.
