Hibernate vs. Spring Data JDBC session code examples

This code example shows how various Hibernate features work in real-world apps. You can understand better what is the session, how does lazy loading and dirty checking work. And in general, what kind of complexity it brings...

• Just run the application and one of the following endpoints:

  • get all persons

  GET http://localhost:8080/person

  • update the person email

  PUT http://localhost:8080/person/1
  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
       
  newEmail=participant@javafest.com.ua
  

  • add new note

  POST http://localhost:8080/person/1/notes
  Content-Type: application/json
  
  {
    "text": "it's not gonna work. haha"
  }
