After a quick overview of Hibernate in the first two chapters,the authors jump right to the code. They show how to do thefollowing:

* Use Hibernate to create persistent classes and objects
* Use the Hibernate database query language and transactionmanagement functions
* Use the Hibernate APIs
After covering these essentials, the authors go further, showingreaders how to use Hibernate in the real world. This meansdemonstrating how to use Hibernate with other popular tools thatreaders are using (including Eclipse, Tomcat, Maven, Struts, andXDoclet). This book takes a very real-world, hands-on approach tothese topics and includes many working code examples, as well as asophisticated sample application.
