Java Persistence With Hibernate

When Hibernate in Action was published two years ago, it was immediately recog-
nized not only as the definitive book on Hibernate, but also as the definitive work
on object/relational mapping.
In the intervening time, the persistence landscape has changed with the
release of the Java Persistence API, the new standard for object/relational map-
ping for Java EE and Java SE which was developed under the Java Community Pro-
cess as part of the Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 Specification.
In developing the Java Persistence API, the EJB 3.0 Expert Group benefitted
heavily from the experience of the O/R mapping frameworks already in use in
the Java community. As one of the leaders among these, Hibernate has had a very
significant influence on the technical direction of Java Persistence. This was due
not only to the participation of Gavin King and other members of the Hibernate
team in the EJB 3.0 standardization effort, but was also due in large part to the
direct and pragmatic approach that Hibernate has taken towards O/R mapping
and to the simplicity, clarity, and power of its APIs--and their resulting appeal to
the Java community.
