SpringSource - Hibernate with Spring - lectures and labs

In this 3-day course you will learn how to create effective data-driven Spring applications with Hibernate. With the focus on the data tier, you will learn to configure Hibernate in the context of a Spring application, how to create efficient object/relational mappings with Hibernate and how to leverage the Spring Framework to facilitate Hibernate session, transaction and exception management. The course shows the use of both XML and annotation based configuration of both Spring and Hibernate.

This training focuses on explaining features of using Hibernate with Spring and goes on to discuss fundamental architectural issues. It's important to know how to use certain parts of a framework, but it's even more important to be able to decide when to use them.
