High-Performance Java Persistence – Chapter 10 – Mapping Types and Identifiers
Part 2, Chapter 10 Every new chapter of my book is released right after it’s being completed, so the reader doesn’t have to wait for the whole part to be finished to get access to new material. Table of content This chapter explains the core mapping elements used by Hibernate and details the basic type and the identifier generators.
I just joined the Hibernate team at RedHat
Hibernate Developer Advocate Today is my first day working as a Developer Advocate for the Hibernate ORM project at RedHat. My job consists in helping the community getting the most out of Hibernate. This is really exciting since I can continue the work that I started when I came out with this blog. If we take the 2015 Java Ecosystem Report issued by Dzone, Hibernate has a 63.9% market share. There are millions of Java developers depending on a relatively small team for delivering their favorite JPA implementation. So, this job carries… Read More
How to bootstrap Hibernate without the persistence.xml file
Why? JPA relies heavily on the persistence.xml configuration file, and the standard API to bootstrap a JPA provider programmatically requires too much boilerplate code. While in a typical enterprise application, providing a persistence.xml file is not really an issue, this requirement doesn’t get along with unit testing, especially when tests are completely isolated and they need to validate different aspects of JPA or Hibernate. That was an issue that I bumped into when writing test cases for the High-Performance Java Persistence book. All my tests need to be isolated, and not all… Read More
High-Performance Java Persistence – Chapter 9 – Hibernate Connection Management
Part 2, Chapter 9 Every new chapter of my book is released right after it’s being completed, so the reader doesn’t have to wait for the whole part to be finished to get access to new material. Table of content This chapter explains how to handle connections in Hibernate and how to monitor their usage as well as the statement that gets automatically generated, and the table of contents looks like this:
High-Performance Java Persistence – Chapter 8 – Why JPA and Hibernate matter
Second part, Chapter 8 Now that the first part of my book is published, it’s time to focus on the second part, which covers both JPA and Hibernate. From now on, every new chapter is going to be released right after it’s completed, so the reader doesn’t have to wait for the whole part to be finished to get access to new chapters. Table of content This chapter aims to remind the reader why Hibernate has its place in high-performance data access, and the table of contents looks like this:
High-Performance Java Persistence – Part One
The journey Four months, one week and two days and 114 pages; that’s how much it took to write the first part of the High-Performance Java Persistence book. As previously stated, the book is developed in an Agile fashion. Each part represents a milestone, which is accompanied by a release. This way, the readers can get access to the book content prior to finishing the whole book (which might take a year or so).
A paranoid’s guide to backing up a working folder
Oops time Leanpub supports multiple storage engines, and a private GitHub repository is probably the safest way to the backing up your working folder. I chose Dropbox as I didn’t envision anything wrong with the automatic synchronization mechanism. While working on my book, I accidentally managed to wipe out half of my diagrams, and all changes were instantly synchronized by Dropbox. The free-of-charge Dropbox account doesn’t offer folder-level versioning, so deleted files are simply gone. Fortunately, IntelliJ IDEA Local History saved the day, and the diagrams were properly restored.
Speedment ORM – deliberate enterprise caching
A small company with big dreams I first heard of Speedment while watching a Hazelcast webinar about a RDBMS Change Data Capture approach for updating the in-memory data grid. In this article, we will have the pleasure of talking to Per-Åke Minborg, who is the CTO and one of the founders of Speedment AB.
How does FlexyPool support the Dropwizard Metrics package renaming
Introduction FlexyPool relies heavily on Dropwizard (previously Codahale) Metrics for monitoring the connection pool usage. Being integrated into Dropwizard, the package name was bound to be renamed. So instead of com.codahale.metrics the 4.0.0 release will use the io.dropwizard.metrics package name.
The High-Performance Java Persistence book
A book in the making It’s been a year since I started the quest for a highly-effective Data Knowledge Stack and the Hibernate Master Class contains over fifty articles already. Now that I covered many aspects of database transactions, JDBC and Java Persistence, it’s time to assemble all the pieces together into the High-Performance Java Persistence book.
