Spring Boot Data JPA & Hibernate: Master Basics to Advance

Build apps with Hibernate, Spring, Java Spring Boot & JPA. Master entity relations, JPQL, multi-database integration.

What you'll learn
- MASTER HIBERNATE ORM: Understand and implement Hibernate ORM for efficient data persistence, caching, and transaction management in Spring Boot applications
- BECOME JPA EXPERT: Learn JPA fundamentals—EntityManager, persistence contexts, and lifecycle—enabling you to build robust, portable Java persistence layers
- MAP COMPLEX DATA MODELS: Master one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many relationships and inheritance strategies (SINGLE_TABLE, JOINED, TABLE_PER_CLASS) using JPA
- QUERY LIKE A PRO: Write advanced JPQL and Criteria API queries for type-safe, dynamic data retrieval, with pagination and sorting in Spring Data JPA
- MULTI-DATABASE INTEGRATION: Configure and optimize H2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle databases with Spring Boot, including schema management

Requirements
- Basic knowledge of Spring Boot and strong urge to master JPA

Description
Master Hibernate and JPA with Spring Boot – A Complete Hands-On Course by EmbarkX

EmbarkX presents a definitive journey intoHibernate,JPA, andSpring Boot—designed for Java developers aiming to build high-performance, maintainable applications. In this comprehensive program, you’ll start with anIntroduction to Hibernate and How It Works, covering the core concepts of object-relational mapping (ORM), session management, and transactions. From there, you’ll dive intoUnderstanding Our Project, where you’ll set up a Spring Boot application that serves as the backbone for all hands-on exercises.

Next, you’ll exploreIntroduction to JPA and Foundations of Persistence in Java, learning about the JPA specification, EntityManager, persistence contexts, and how JPA standardizes data access. ByTaking a Step Back – Exploring Under the Hood, you’ll gain clarity on the differences between Hibernate’s native APIs and the JPA layer, ensuring you understand both performance optimizations and portability across JPA implementations.

Moving forward, you’ll learnMapping Real-World Data Models with Relationships, tackling one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many associations. Dive intoJPA Annotations You Should Be Aware Of, mastering annotations like @Entity, @Table, @Id, @GeneratedValue, @Column, @Embedded, and advanced mapping techniques. You’ll also coverInheritance with JPA, implementing strategies such as SINGLE_TABLE, JOINED, and TABLE_PER_CLASS to model class hierarchies effectively.

The section onQuerying and the Criteria APIintroduces JPQL, named queries, and dynamic queries. You’ll see how to fetch data efficiently, and build type-safe queries without writing raw SQL. Finally,Different Databases with Spring Bootdemonstrates configuring various relational databases—H2, MySQL, PostgreSQL—showing you how to switch data sources.

By the end of this course, you will:

Confidently useHibernateandSpring Data JPAannotations.

Build complex entity relationships and inheritance mappings.

Write advanced JPQL and Criteria API queries.

Integrate your Spring Boot application with multiple database engines.
