The ability to attach lifecycle events to an entity using simple annotations sometimes is a neat feature in the Java Persistence API.
The following short snippets demonstrate how to bind and trigger the different available lifecycle events using an embedded derby database and a bunch of annotations.
In today’s tutorial we’re exploring the world of faceted searches like the one we’re used to see when we’re searching for an item on Amazon.com or other websites. We’re using Hibernate Search here that offers an API to perform discrete as well as range faceted searches on our persisted data.
Often we’re writing an application that has to handle entities that – on the one side need to be persisted in a relational database using standards like the Java Persistence API (JPA) and using frameworks like Hibernate ORM or EclipseLink.
On the other side those entities and their fields are often stored in a highspeed indexer like Lucene. From this situation arises a bunch of common problems .. to synchronize both data sources, to handle special data mapped in an entity like an office document and so on..
Hibernate Search makes this all a lot easier for us as we’re hopefully going to see in the following short tutorial…
Java EE 6 is out and it indeed offers an interesting stack of technologies. So in today’s tutorial we are going to build a small sample web application that builds on this stack using Enterprise JavaBeans, Java Persistence API, Bean Validation, CDI and finally Java Server Faces and PrimeFaces.
The application we’re going to develop is a simple blog app that allows us to create new articles, list them and – finally delete them. We’re also covering some additional topics like JSF navigation, i18n, Ajax-enabled components and the deployment on the GlassFish application server.

Today we’re going to take a look at the world of object-relational Mapping and how it is done using the Java Persistence API by creating some basic examples, mapping some relations and querying objects using JPQL or the Criteria API..
In this short tutorial we are going to build a Java Server Faces Web-Application using JSF2.0, Facelets, Maven and Hibernate as ORM Mapper.
The goals for this first step are: Setting up the project structure using Maven, defining a frame template/decorator and a registration facelet, creating a managed bean and mapping it’s values to the facelet, adding some basic validation, displaying validation errors and finally adding a navigation structure.
In step2 of this tutorial we are going to add persistence using Hibernate, add some security, create a custom UI component and add some AJAX.
The Mojarra JSF implementation is used for this tutorial – perhaps I’m going to post more about the MyFaces implementation in another tutorial.
They built a nice new feature in Grails 1.2 called “named queries“. Named queries can be defined in a domain class as static properties and support the criteria builder syntax. (more…)
