JBoss Updates Hibernate, Certifies on Java Persistence
16 October 2006 - 10:00PM
Business Wire
JBoss, a division of Red Hat (NASDAQ: RHAT), today released
Hibernate 3.2, the latest update to the company�s powerful,
award-winning Java object/relational mapping software. By user
demand, JBoss has simplified Hibernate packages to support the most
popular development frameworks. Now, programmers have a single
object/relational mapping and persistence solution to meet their
complex development needs, whether with native Hibernate, JDK 5.0
(Java Developer Kit) annotations, the Java Persistence API, or full
Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (EJB 3.0). The most significant feature of
Hibernate 3.2 is support for and certification with Java
Persistence, which was introduced in the Java Enterprise Edition
(EE) 5.0 platform to simplify the development of Java EE
applications using data persistence. Java Persistence support and
certification lays the groundwork for JBoss� final EJB 3.0
implementation in the JBoss Java EE 5.0 application server.
Hibernate can now also be used as a portable and pluggable Java
Persistence provider with any Java EE 5.0 application server.
�Hibernate has always been about simplification and enhancing
developer productivity, and that includes giving developers what
they need to develop with in the manner that makes the most sense
for their projects,� said Ram Venkataraman, director of product
management, JBoss. �Java Persistence standardizes innovative data
management features�many of which were pioneered in Hibernate, for
the Java EE platform�with a powerful and simple programming model
tightly integrated with EJB 3.0. Furthermore, the Hibernate
software modules can be used in any combination and with any JDK,
making Hibernate a perfect fit for any development and deployment
environment.� With this update, JBoss has delivered one of the most
feature-rich and mature Java Persistence-compliant
object/relational mapping software available, proving once again
why Hibernate is a leader in its market. The Hibernate 3.2 release
includes: -- Hibernate Core is the full featured, high performance
object/relational persistence and query service that popularized
object/relational mapping for Java. Hibernate relieves developers
from 95 percent of common data persistence related programming
tasks, compared to manual coding with SQL and the JDBC API.
Hibernate Core offers a powerful native data management and query
API, and object/relational mapping with XML metadata. Hibernate
Core requires JDK 1.3 or greater and works with any J2EE 1.4 or
Java EE 5.0 application server. -- Hibernate Annotations offers
several packages of JDK 5.0 code annotations that developers can
use to map classes, as a replacement or in addition to XML
metadata. Hibernate Annotations supports standard Java Persistence
object/relational mapping annotations, native Hibernate extension
annotations, and declarative data integrity rule definition and
validation with the Hibernate Validator framework. Hibernate
Annotations requires JDK 5.0. -- Hibernate EntityManager implements
the Java Persistence programming interfaces, object lifecycle
rules, and query options as defined by Java Specification Request
220 (EJB 3.0). Combined with Hibernate Annotations, this wrapper
offers a complete Java Persistence provider on top of the mature
and powerful Hibernate Core. The Hibernate Java Persistence
provider is the default Java Persistence provider of the JBoss EJB
3.0 implementation. Additionally, it can be used inside any other
Java EE 5.0 application server or standalone with JDK 5.0. In
addition to Java Persistence support and certification, new
features in Hibernate 3.2 include: -- Transparent and customizable
persistence context management in any Java environment; -- Highly
scalable optimistic locking in a cluster with the new JBoss Cache
provider; -- Declarative data filters for transparent definition of
dynamic data views; and -- Enhanced query options and query
language. Licensed under the Gnu Lesser General Public License
(LGPL), Hibernate is free to download and use. It is also currently
bundled in the Red Hat Application Stack. For more information
