20 years of Hibernate
Introduction 20 years of Hibernate and counting. On the 23rd of May 2001, Gavin King launched the first version of Hibernate. Twenty years later, Hibernate is one the most successful Java data access frameworks, having millions of developers using it on a per-daily basis.
JPA Entity Graph
Introduction In this article, I’m going to explain how you can fetch an entity association using a JPA Entity Graph and how you can build it either declaratively or programmatically.
JPA Default Fetch Plan
Introduction In this article, I’m going to explain what the JPA Default Fetch Plan is and how it differs from the Query Fetch Plan when using FetchType EAGER associations.
Connection Monitoring with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction In this article, I’m going to show you how you can set up connection monitoring for your JPA and Hibernate application, no matter if you are using Spring or other application frameworks.
Hibernate LazyToOne annotation
Introduction In this article, I’m going to explain how the Hibernate LazyToOne annotation works and why you should use NO_PROXY lazy loading with bytecode enhancement. Before Hibernate 5.5, without the LazyToOneOption.NO_PROXY annotation, the parent-side of a @OneToOne association is always going to be fetched eagerly even if you set it to FetchType.LAZY and enabled bytecode enhancement lazy loading. Since Hibernate 5.5, you no longer need to use LazyToOneOption.NO_PROXY with bytecode enhancement.
