JPA_1

Get to know JPA and Hibernate

The following is a project focused on a simple JPA and Hibernate application. It is a very simple mock library application that utilizes:

• CDI
• EJB
• Hibernate and JPA
• JPA annotations and mappings
• SQL
• Faces

Target Audience

The target audience is you. I have no requirements, everything here is free and readily available to everyone. If you cannot understand code here, you can read my articles on JPA:

• JPA Introduction I
• JPA Introduction II

I will be very glad for any comments that you have.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You will need:

1. A database server
2. An application server
3. Maven

The precise setup for step 1. is described here. If you have no application server or Maven, check out my Getting Started article.

Deploying

In a command line, change into this project such that when you issue ls (or DIR on Windows), you see pom.xml among other files. Then, issue the following command:

mvn clean package

With that, you will create the target directory. Copy the resulting JPA_I.war into your application server's deploy directory and access localhost:8080/JPA_I (if your server runs on a different address or port, please change accordingly).
