Hello.

I have been using hibernate around 6 months now by just reading the online documentation, api and forums.

However, I would now like to get a deeper understanding of hibernate, and some advanced topics. But there are many different books out there.

Could someone suggest a good book? I don't want a real beginner how to book, but more on the advanced part of hibernate, and preferably a new book.

Thanks

Hello,

what about Java Persistence with Hibernate, by Christian Bauer and Gavin King:

I know about this book, but I the reason why I am asking is because I want personal preferences from you guys who have actually read the books.

So if you have read this book, and you can truly suggest it based on my bits on advanced stuff, then I will highly consider buying it.

Has really no one read a decent hibernate book?

I must say that I really think this forum is more or less useless for getting help. All it is good for really is to check history posts.
I have created around a dusin posts, and most of them havent gotten a reply even.
