Java Persistence with Hibernate
Persistence-the ability of data to outlive an instance of a program-is central to modern applications. Hibernate, the most popular Java persistence tool, provides automatic and transparent object/relational mapping making it a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications. Hibernate applications are cheaper, more portable, and more resilient to change. Because it co

First of all, I think it's between 3 and 4 actually. Good parts: it has some useful information like caching support, explanations of inner workings of persistence context, and it was just good to read it through because there are always some parts missing when you don't read everything or just make every single mistake with a framework, and Hibernate has a lot of complexity to it. I also think most of the people using it are just looking recipes up on the internet or reading tidbits of document

This book is very thick and packed with a lot of information. It can be considered a reference book for Hibernate, but there's a somewhat wordiness feel to it rather than being a straight-to-the-point sort of reference. You tend to have to read through explanations and discussions to get to the snippet you're looking for. It's not a very strong candidate for a good reference book, and it's also a poor candidate for a learning book; there's no complete example or walkthrough of a proper applicati

Nice introduction to ORM in general, not just Hibernate.
Compared to the reference manual, it's definitely a good book, but examples are a) not well thought-out, many of details are left out of the book, so you can't just take the code from the book, put it in your IDE, and get it working -- you'll need A LOT of other things to get it running at times; b) far-fetched at times.
This book is a bit wordy to read straight through, but it makes an adequate reference. You would think there would be a website that would be a better reference given this material, but this book seems more complete then any website I have found.
It is very good read for anybody who works with ORM or Java application with persistence using RDBMS.
The book is very readable. It is comprehensive book for ORM as well as hibernate.

Best Hibernate book, with which you can understand Java persistence. a must have book for everyone interested in understanding Java persistence concepts.
Horrid organization and writing style. I don't care much for the condescending tone either.
One of the 10 books I brought with me from the US.
2nd edition coming soon apparently. Should be fun!
If you work with Hibernate you should read this.
That is great way of Persistence of your data
