What is the benefit of using JPA over Hibernate API?
As you’ve seen, JPA provides an easy to use API to implement common CRUD use cases without writing any SQL. That makes the implementation of common use cases a lot faster, but it also provides another benefit: Your SQL statements are not spread all over your code.
What is Session in Hibernate?
The Session interface is the main tool used to communicate with Hibernate. It provides an API enabling us to create, read, update, and delete persistent objects. The session has a simple lifecycle. We open it, perform some operations, and then close it.
What is difference between Crudrepository and Jparepository?
Crud Repository is the base interface and it acts as a marker interface. JPA also provides some extra methods related to JPA such as delete records in batch and flushing data directly to a database. It provides only CRUD functions like findOne, saves, etc. JPA repository also extends the PagingAndSorting repository.
What is the difference between JPA and spring data JPA?
Speaking precisely, Spring Data JPA is an add-on for JPA. It provides a framework that works with JPA and provides a complete abstraction over the Data Access Layer. Spring Data JPA brings in the concept of JPA Repositories, a set of Interfaces that defines query methods.
Should we use JPA?
There are a lot of use cases that can be better implemented with other frameworks. But in my experience, JPA and Hibernate are still a good fit for most applications because they make it very easy to implement CRUD operations. The persistence tier of most applications is not that complex.
What is SessionFactory and session in Hibernate?
SessionFactory is a factory class for Session objects. It is available for the whole application while a Session is only available for particular transaction. Session is short-lived while SessionFactory objects are long-lived. SessionFactory provides a second level cache and Session provides a first level cache.
Should I use JpaRepository or CrudRepository?
Crud Repository doesn’t provide methods for implementing pagination and sorting. JpaRepository ties your repositories to the JPA persistence technology so it should be avoided. We should use CrudRepository or PagingAndSortingRepository depending on whether you need sorting and paging or not.
What are the advantages of JDO over hibernate?
The other advantage of JDO/DataNucleus over hibernate is that it doesn’t have all the run time reflection overhead and is more memory efficient because it uses build time byte code enhancement (maybe add 1 sec to your build time for a large project) rather than hibernate’s run time reflection powered proxy pattern.
What is the difference between JPA and JDO?
JDO and JPA are both specifications, not implementations. The idea is you can swap JPA implementations, if you restrict your code to use standard JPA only. (Ditto for JDO.) Hibernate can be used as one such implementation of JPA. However, Hibernate provides a native API, with features above and beyond that of JPA. IMO, I would recommend Hibernate.
What is the difference between JPA and hibernate?
Hibernate can be used as one such implementation of JPA. However, Hibernate provides a native API, with features above and beyond that of JPA. IMO, I would recommend Hibernate. There have been some comments / questions about what you should do if you need to use Hibernate-specific features.
What is your experience with Hibernate?
My own personal experience with Hibernate is that the time saved up-front is more than offset by the endless days you will spend down the line trying to understand and debug issues like unexpected cascading update behaviour. If you are using a relational DB then the closer your code is to it, the more control you have.
