Hibernate is a powerful and high-performance ORM tool.Hibernate maps Java classes to database tables and from Java data types to SQL data types.Hibernate framework simplifies the development of java application to interact with the database.Hibernate maps the Java classes to the database tables. It also provides the data query and retrieval facilities that significantly reduces the development time.
 
In this tutorial, we’ll take you step by step towards mastering the hibernate concepts.
Happy Learning!!!! :)

Hibernate Basics

1. ORM Introduction

Gives you an insight of the Object Relational Mapping.

2. Introduction To Hibernate Framework

Gives you an insight of the basics of Hibernate Framework.

3. Introduction To Hibernate Configuration File

Hibernate Configuration File(cfg file) is the file loaded into an hibernate application when working with hibernate.Hibernate uses this file to establish connection to the database server.

4. Hibernate Application In Eclipse IDE

In this article, we will create a simple example of hibernate application using eclipse IDE.After finishing of this article You will learn how to create and run the Hibernate based projects in Eclipse IDE, via XML mapping file (hbm).

5. Object States in Hibernate – Transient,Persistent and Detached

Object states in Hibernate plays a vital role in the execution of code in an application. Hibernate has provided three different states for an object of a pojo class. These three states are also called as life cycle states of an object.

6. Difference between hibernate save(),saveOrUpdate() and persist() methods

Object states in Hibernate plays a vital role in the execution of code in an application. Hibernate has provided three different states for an object of a pojo class. These three states are also called as life cycle states of an object.

7. Web Application with Hibernate

In this tutorial, we are going to create a web application with hibernate. We are going to insert the record of the user in the database.We will create Registration form for getting user data.These data we will collect in servlet and finally insert these data into Database by using hibernate.

8. Hibernate Example With Annotation

This example is the same as the first example except that it uses annotations.In our first example we created .hbm.xml file for database and pojo class mapping, here there is no need to create hbm files, instead we will use annotations to do the object relational mapping.

9. Integrating JSP,Servlet and Hibernate in an MVC application.

In this article, we are going to create a real time MVC application by using Servlet, JSP and Hibernate.This example is developed using MVC pattern, where JSP pages acts as view layer, Hibernate and MySQL database as the model and servlet as controller layer.

10. CRUD Operations Using Hibernate

A CRUD operation deals with creating , retrieving , updating and deleting records from the table, in this tutorial we will see how it is done using hibernate.

Hibernate Inheritance Mapping

1. Inheritance Mapping In Hibernate

Gives you an insight of the basics of Inheritance Mapping In Hibernate .

2. Hibernate Inheritance: Table Per Class Hierarchy

In table per class hierarchy, only one table is created with columns to accommodate all the properties of each class involved in hierarchy.

3. Hibernate Inheritance: Table Per Subclass Hierarchy

In this article we will see how to implement Table per subclass mapping in hibernate .In this mapping each class persist the data in its own separate table.A foreign key relationship exists between the subclass tables and super class table and common data will store in to the parent class table.

4. Hibernate Inheritance: Table Per Concrete Class Hierarchy

In this article we will see how to implement Table per concrete class mapping in hibernate .In this mapping,One table will be created for each concrete class.

Hibernate Association Mapping

1. Collection Mapping in Hibernate

Gives you an insight of the collection Mapping In Hibernate .

2. Hibernate One-to-Many XML Mapping Example

In this tutorial we are going to discuss how to map a one-to-many association between Java objects and database tables using Hibernate framework.

3. Hibernate One To One Mapping(XML Mapping) Tutorial

In this tutorial we are going to discuss how to map a one-to-many association between Java objects and database tables using Hibernate framework.

Hibernate Query Language (HQL)

1. Hibernate Query Language (HQL) Example Tutorial

Gives you an insight of the basics of Hibernate Query language(HQL) .

2. HQL Tutorial HQL select, Update And Delete Queries

In this example we will discuss how to use Hibernate Query Language (HQL) in CRUD operation using a sample program.

Composite Primary Keys In Hibernate

If the database table has more than one column as primary key then we call it as composite primary key.
