New Spring and JPA2, and Spring and Hibernate Courses

Webucator has two new courses from Learning Patterns:

  1. Introduction to Spring and JPA2 (changed from previous name – Fast Track to Spring and JPA2)
  2. Introduction to Spring and Hibernate

Both courses are for developers with good working knowledge of Java who also need to use Spring and Hibernate.

The Spring and Hibernate course is only for clients using Hibernate’s proprietary XML mapping files. Those using the JPA API (e.g., @Entity) should take the Introduction to Spring and JPA course.

According to course author Yaakov Weintraub of Learning Patterns, “Spring and Hibernate/JPA are different technologies. However, Spring easily integrates with both Hibernate and JPA. This allows Hibernate and JPA-based repositories to use all of the other capabilities that Spring provides, especially dependency injection and TX management.”
