Java Persistence Frameworks |
| Details |
When your application is too complex for pure JDBC, you need to consider persistence frameworks, but the choices
are daunting. Learn what makes a good persistence framework. Learn some of the common pitfalls around data
persistence, and what add-ons are important for delivering good performance. You’ll first learn about the
principles of persistence frameworks. Then, you’ll be able to compare and contrast the many Java persistence
solutions, including EJB CMP, JDO, OO DBMS and relational mapping alternatives.

Hibernate: A powerful open-source object/relational persistence and
query service for Java. |
| Presenter |
Ed Hill, Java developer, from The University of Iowa. |
| Download |
380jug-hibernate.zip |
| Info |
Hibernate is a persistence service that takes takes data coming from
rows in SQL database and turns them into object in your application's object
model (and visa-versa). Hibernate works through a very lightweight service
api, and a series of XML files that you write (or let Hibernate generate)
which describe the relationship between your Class and an associated
database table. Hibernate supports almost any JDBC compliant database.
For more information about Hibernate, click
here.
For this presentation, I'll cover the following:
- Hibernate basics
- CRUD operations (query, create, update, delete)
- Primary key generation techniques
- Relationships
- Hibernate API & configuration
- Advanced hibernate goodies
- Hibernate demo
- I'll walk through a real simple working example
- Comparisons
- I'll compare hibernate with other solutions in this same domain such as:
- Raw JDBC calls, simple DAOs
- JDO
- EJB CMP
- OJB, Cayenne, Commons SQL, OFBiz, Torque, etc...

Pre JavaOne Presentations |
| Info |
This month's meeting will consist of two presentations, both of which are
JavaOne Birds of a Feather sessions at the March 2002 conference in San Francisco. |
| Presentation One |
Custom Tag Libraries: Designing for Reuse
This session describes designing and implementing a powerful custom tag library that takes a list of objects and
displays various properties of those objects in a table or list structure.
One of the most common interfaces in Web design is showing a table or list of objects to users and asking them
to act on that list. As users, we expect some of the following functionality from these tables or lists:
- Data in columns as hyperlinks that we can click to drill down for additional details
- Clicking on column titles to re-sort the data in the table by that column
- Showing some subset of the data per page with an indication of how much data is left to show in the entire list

Wireless and Handheld devices: Changing the Boundaries of the Internet
In this session, we discuss software and hardware technologies to provide a high-performance
gaming experience using the JavaTM 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2METM). We present end-user
requirements, analyze the capabilities of the current generation of Java technology-powered
mobile devices, and provide both software and hardware enhancements to improve game responsiveness.
We conclude with a demonstration of a complete high-performance gaming platform based on the
J2ME CLDC/MIDP environment.
