This hibernate tutorial provides in-depth concepts of Hibernate Framework with

simplified examples. It was started in 2001 by Gavin King as an alternative to EJB2
style entity bean. The stable release of Hibernate till Aug 28, 2013, is hibernate
2.2.5. It is helpful for beginners and experienced persons.

Hibernate Framework
Hibernate framework simplifies the development of java application to interact with
the database. Hibernate is an open source, lightweight, ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool.

Inheritance Mapping
Table Per Hierarchy
TPH using Annotation

An ORM tool simplifies the data creation, data manipulation and data access. It is a programming technique
that maps the object to the data stored in the database.

Table Per Concrete

TPC using Annotation
Table Per Subclass
TPS using Annotation
Collection Mapping
Mapping List
One-to-many by List
OTM Annotation
Mapping Bag

The ORM tool internally uses the JDBC API to interact with the database.

One-to-many by Bag
Mapping Set
One-to-many by Set

Advantages of Hibernate Framework

Mapping Map
Many-to-many by Map

There are many advantages of Hibernate Framework. They are as follows:

Bidirectional
Lazy Collection
Component Mapping
Association Mapping
One-to-one 1
One-to-one 2
Tx Management
HQL
HCQL
Named Query
Hibernate Caching
Second Level Cache
Integration

1) Opensource and Lightweight: Hibernate framework is opensource under the LGPL license and
lightweight.
2) Fast performance: The performance of hibernate framework is fast because cache is internally used in
hibernate framework. There are two types of cache in hibernate framework first level cache and second level
cache. First level cache is enabled bydefault.
3) Database Independent query: HQL (Hibernate Query Language) is the object-oriented version of SQL.
It generates the database independent queries. So you don't need to write database specific queries. Before
Hibernate, If database is changed for the project, we need to change the SQL query as well that leads to the
maintenance problem.
4) Automatic table creation: Hibernate framework provides the facility to create the tables of the database
automatically. So there is no need to create tables in the database manually.
5) Simplifies complex join: To fetch data form multiple tables is easy in hibernate framework.

6) Provides query statistics and database status: Hibernate supports Query cache and provide statistics
about query and database status.

Upcoming topics in Hibernate Tutorial

Basics of Hibernate
Hibernate Architecture
Here, we will learn what are the major elements of hibernate. There is given two figures to understand the
hibernate architecture.

Steps to create Hibernate Application without IDE

Page 2 of 5

Here, we will see the 6 steps to connect to the database in java using Hibernate. You may also download the
jar files for hibernate here.

Creating Hibernate Application in Eclipse IDE

In this Hibernate tutorial, we will connect hibernate program with the oracle database using the eclipse IDE.
We will create the hibernate application here step by step.

Creating Hibernate Application in MyEclipse IDE

Here, we will connect hibernate program with the oracle database using the Myeclipse IDE. There is given the
steps to create the hibernate application.

Hibernate with annotation

Here, we will create a simple hibernate application with annotation.

Web application with Hibernate

In this example, we will create a web application using JSP and interact with the database using hibernate
framework.

Generator classes
Here, we will learn about generator classes.

Hibernate Dialects
There are many dialect classes in hibernate. Here, we will learn about the dialect classes.

Enable Logging in Hibernate

Hibernate Logging by log4j using log4j.xml file
Let's see the simple example of logging by log4j using xml file.

Hibernate Logging by log4j using log4j.properties file

Let's see the simple example of logging by log4j using properties file.

Inheritance (IS-A) Mapping

Inheritance Mapping
What is inheritance mapping and what are the ways to implement it.

Table Per Hierarchy using xml file

In this Hibernate tutorial, We will map the inheritance hierarchy in a single table. This uses the concept of
discriminator column.

Table Per Hierarchy using Annotation

By the help of @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE), @DiscriminatorColumn and
@DiscriminatorValue annotations, we can map table per hierarchy strategy using annotation.

Table Per Concrete class using xml file

In this Hibernate tutorial, We will map the inheritance hierarchy in three tables that have no relation.

Table Per Concrete class using Annotation

@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS) and @AttributeOverrides annotations are used
in table per concrete class strategy.

Table Per Subclass using xml file

In this Hibernate tutorial, We will map the inheritance hierarchy in three tables that have relation.

Table Per Subclass using Annotation

@Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED) and @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotations are used in table
per subclass strategy.

Collection (HAS-A) Mapping

Collection Mapping Tutorial
Here, we will see how we can map the collection element of a persistent class.

Mapping List

Let's map the list element using the mapping file. Here, we are containing the values in the list object not the
entity reference.

One-to-many Mapping using List

Example to map one to many relationship by list.

Mapping Bag
Here, we will map the list element using bag. It is non-indexed collection.

One-to-many Mapping using Bag

Example to map one to many relationship by bag.

Mapping Set
Let's map the set object of a persistent class using set element.

One-to-many Mapping using Set

Example to map one to many relationship by set.

Mapping map in Collection Mapping

Map containing the string objects can be mapped in hibernate using map element of class.

Many-to-many Mapping in hibernate using map

Let's see the example of many-to-many association.

Association (HAS-A) Mapping

One-to-one mapping by many to one example
Example of mapping one to one relationship by many-to-one element.

One-to-one mapping by one to one example

Example of mapping one to one relationship by one-to-one element.

Component Mapping
Component Mapping Tutorial
Let's see what is component mapping.

Hibernate Transaction Management

Transaction Management Example
How transaction is maintained by Hibernate framework.

Hibernate Query Language

HQL Tutorial
Here, we will learn about the HQL. Let's create a simple examples of HQL.

Hibernate Criteria Query Language

HCQL Tutorial
Let's see what is Hibernate Criteria Query Language

Hibernate Named Language

Named Query Tutorial
Here, we will learn about the named query. Let's create a simple example of named query using annotation.
