Product Description
Not only that, Hibernate makes it easy. Positioned as a layer between your application and your database, Hibernate takes care of loading and saving of objects. Hibernate applications are cheaper, more portable, and more resilient to change. And they perform better than anything you are likely to develop yourself.
Hibernate in Action carefully explains the concepts you need, then gets you going. It builds on a single example to show you how to use Hibernate in practice, how to deal with concurrency and transactions, how to efficiently retrieve objects and use caching.
The authors created Hibernate and they field questions from the Hibernate community every day–they know how to make Hibernate sing. Knowledge and insight seep out of every pore of this book.

Customer Reviews
Concise and well written.
A great book for getting going with Hibernate quickly.
Some parts are heavy going because it is packed with info. This pays off because there is little or no padding/rubbish.
Try their newer book instead
This book is for Hibernate 2. Hibernate 3 is covered by the same authors in Java Persistence with Hibernate
Useful narrative
I found this book useful and readable, and it helped me develop my first (and second) Hibernate applications. It begins with a brief overview of the kinds of problems which ORM solutions need to address. It then introduces Hibernate along with a couple of examples, upon which subsequent chapters build. (Some reviewers have criticized the examples, but I thought they were useful, and I didn't have trouble following them) One thing you should be aware of: while this book is a good narrative, it's not as useful as a reference. I find myself paging back and forth among several chapters which cover topics in different levels of detail. That shouldn't be a show-stopper since reference material exists on the web. You might be concerned is the book covers Hibernate 2.1, while Hibernate 3.x and Ejb 3 are out; the book is still relevant and valid, and I've used it along side Hibernate 3 with no problem.
