* Knowledge building, confidence building - Takes the reader further and quicker than they thought possible - from a little HTML knowledge to the essentials of the Java language, JSP, MySQL, SQL, Struts. * Practical - Contains case studies that show the reader how to use JSP to build common types of web sites using tools used in production applications (such as the Struts Framework) that the reader can then extend as they explore JSP further. * Career building-provides a way into the real world of programming for readers with no previous programming experience.

Pro Hibernate discusses the need for OR-mapping and presents Hibernate as a premier tool to achieve the same. To date, Hibernate is the most popular object/relational mapping solution for Java. Discussed are all features associated with Hibernate, and ways to leverage this technology to incorporate effective persistence mechanisms in Java applications. Also included are numerous examples related to each Hibernate feature. This book even discusses the Hibernate Query Language (HQL). Overall, this book will help you develop and integrate Hibernate with your other lightweight enterprise Java endeavors. Hibernate is an existing open source and lightweight tool and query language alternative to the heavyweight JDO (Java Data Objects) and J2EE 1. 4 database API and extension query languages. Hibernate is one of the leading open source communities that contributes heavily to the new database and mapping functions found in the EJB 3. 0 and Java 2EE 5. 0 specifications. JDO is no longer considered officially part of the J2EE 5. 0.
