Advanced Topics in JAVA

ORM and Hibernate


Duration: 7 Hrs
Presented by: [Your Name]
Introduction to ORM

• ORM (Object Relational Mapping) maps Java


objects to database tables.
• Eliminates the need for most SQL queries.
• Promotes faster, cleaner development with
Java classes.
Key Concepts in ORM

• Entity – Represents DB table.


• Session – Interface to DB operations.
• Transaction – Group of operations.
• Lazy Loading – On-demand object loading.
• Cascade – Propagate operations.
• Persistence Context – Tracks object state.
Advantages of ORM

• Less SQL code, faster development.


• Object-oriented DB access.
• Automatic table mapping and generation.
• Improved code maintainability and readability.
Disadvantages of ORM

• Performance overhead in complex queries.


• Steep learning curve.
• Harder to debug and fine-tune queries.
• Not ideal for batch-heavy or simple apps.
When to Use ORM

• Use when: scalable, OOP-based, DB-agnostic


apps.
• Avoid when: high-performance, SQL-
optimized apps.
• Ideal for enterprise Java apps with complex
models.
Popular ORM Frameworks

• Hibernate – Feature-rich and widely used.


• JPA – Standard Java ORM specification.
• EclipseLink – JPA implementation.
• MyBatis – Semi-ORM with custom SQL.
• TopLink – Oracle's ORM tool.
Introduction to Hibernate

• Open-source ORM for Java.


• Simplifies database interaction using POJOs.
• Supports annotations, transactions, and lazy
loading.
Hibernate Features

• Lightweight, flexible and open-source.


• HQL and native SQL support.
• Caching, auto schema generation.
• Integrates with Spring, JPA.
Hibernate Architecture
• Refer to the diagram below for Hibernate’s
core components and flow.
Architecture Components

• Configuration – Loads settings and mappings.


• SessionFactory – Singleton, creates Session.
• Session – Performs DB operations (CRUD).
• Transaction – Groups atomic actions.
• Query – Executes HQL/SQL.
• Callback – Custom lifecycle logic.
Integration and DB Access

• JTA – Handles distributed transactions.


• JNDI – Resource lookups in EE.
• JDBC – Core communication with DB.
• Database Server – Stores persistent data.
Advantages of Hibernate

• Minimizes JDBC code.


• Database-independent & portable.
• Advanced caching & lazy loading.
• Automatic schema creation.
Disadvantages of Hibernate

• Performance cost in complex ops.


• Tougher debugging and customization.
• High learning curve for new users.
• Requires good mapping design.
Summary

• ORM simplifies Java-DB interaction.


• Hibernate is the most used ORM tool.
• Helps build scalable, maintainable apps.
• Great for enterprise and object-based
systems.

Working Principle: Java to DB

• Java Application uses Hibernate APIs to


interact with the DB.
• SessionFactory creates Session objects for DB
communication.
• Session opens a connection via JDBC or JTA.
• Transaction begins for atomic operations.
• Query is executed (HQL/SQL).
• Results are returned and session is closed.
