Nice reference

Mainly this book is for someone who already knows Hibernate and would use this book as a reference and not as a book to learn Hibernate from scratch.

I liked it since it gave some nice examples using Middlegen and XDoclet. I was able to generate all the mappings and POJOs using ant task that used middlegen...

I would recommend this book for someone who wants to pick up few new tricks with Hibernate...

p.s. Used this book costs around 3-4 bucks + shipping... this book definetely worth 6-8 bucks... but i would not pick it up from Barns for $40.
