New Tutorial: Using Hibernate in a Visual Web JSF Application

Hi all,

There's a new tutorial I'd like to tell you about: Using Hibernate in a Visual Web JSF Application. It was written by Dongmei Cao and Ken Ganfield. This tutorial shows you how to use the NetBeans IDE to create and deploy a web application that displays data from a database. The web application uses the Hibernate framework as the persistence layer to persist Java objects to a relational database.

Hibernate is framework that provides tools for object relational mapping (ORM). The tutorial demonstrates how to add support for the Hibernate framework to the IDE and create the necessary Hibernate files to use Hibernate to persist plain old Java objects (POJOs).

After creating the Java objects and configuring the application to use Hibernate, you add Visual Web components to a web page to display the data. To familiarize yourself with using Visual Web components, you may want to read the Getting Started With NetBeans Visual Web JSF Development.

The tutorial is at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/61/web/hibernate-vwp.html.

Great work, Dongmei and Ken!

Cheers!

--James
