Whether you are just starting with Hibernate or looking up a specific mapping pattern, this page organizes all tutorials into logical categories with practical examples and runnable code.

Table of Contents

• 1. Getting Started
• 2. Entity Relationships (Mappings)
• 3. Inheritance Strategies
• 4. Advanced Topics
• 5. Caching

1. Getting Started

Start your Hibernate journey with an overview of the framework and your first working example using both XML and annotation-based configuration.

• Hibernate Framework Introduction
• Hibernate First Example (XML-based)
• Hibernate First Annotation Example

2. Entity Relationships (Mappings)

Learn how to model relationships between entities in Hibernate using JPA annotations. These mappings form the backbone of any real-world Hibernate application.

• Hibernate One-to-One Annotation Example
• Hibernate One-to-Many Annotation Example
• Hibernate Many-to-One Annotation Example
• Hibernate Many-to-Many Annotation Example

3. Inheritance Strategies

Hibernate supports three inheritance mapping strategies. Each has trade-offs between query performance, table normalization, and schema simplicity.

• Table Per Hierarchy (Single Table)
• Table Per Concrete Class
• Table Per Subclass (Joined)

4. Advanced Topics

Handle composite keys and master the full CRUD lifecycle with Hibernate's session management.

• Hibernate Composite Key Example
• Hibernate CRUD Example

5. Caching
