Schauderhaft » Testing Databases with JUnit and Hibernate Part 1: One to Rule them

Databases are an extremely important part of almost every enterprise application. Yet there is very little support for testing your database, which results in very little tests coverage of database related code out in the wild. In a desperate attempt to change that at least a little the article series starting with this article will describe some of the problems and possible partial solutions based on Hibernate and JUnit.

Those evil frameworks and their complexity - Java Code Geeks

Frameworks like Hibernate and Spring are industry-standards. JSF, EJB and the likes are also standards and used in many applications. But there are always people that are against these frameworks. The usual arguments against using frameworks are:

• it is very complex, we don’t need it
• we can make our own framework that will be better for us
• we doubt their quality and don’t think they can do the job
• we don’t want to learn yet another framework, core java should be enough
• we’ve never heard of those…what’s so good about them?

The bad thing is you can’t argue with these people. And if they happen to be leads or architect – here’s another screwed project.

Graham Hacking Scala: How to Create a Webapp with Scala, Spring, Hibernate and Maven in Late 2011

Way back in the ancient history of January 2010, I wrote a walk-through of how to create a webapp with Scala, Spring Hibernate and Maven.

As with all things, technologies have progressed, as have other things, including the way code is shared online. So I decided it was time to update the code form that post and share it somewhere more modern.

GWT 2 Spring 3 JPA 2 Hibernate 3.5 Tutorial - Java Code Geeks

GWT 2 Spring 3 JPA 2 Hibernate 3.5 Tutorial - Java Code Geeks

This step by step guide will present how to develop a simple web application using Google's Web Toolkit (GWT) for the rich client and Spring as the back – end, server side framework. The sample web application will provide functionality to make CRUD (Create Retrieve Update Delete) operations to a database. For the data access layer we will use JPA over Hibernate and for a database we will use Hypersonic. Of course you can change the configuration and use whatever you like. We will deploy the web application to an Apache – Tomcat instance.
