Title: Object-Relational Mapping with Hibernate
Abstract
Hibernate is an open source library for Java, developed by JBoss (which is now
part of Red Hat). It provides a framework for mapping an object-oriented
domain model to a relational database. This is called an object-relational
mapping (ORM). Hibernate is currently the most popular ORM library for Java.
In this talk I will introduce the problem of ORM and how Hibernate handles
this. I will show an example of Hibernate code and then discuss some of the
underlying problems and techniques. Finally I will discuss some of the main
criticism about Hibernate and ORM in general.
