Spring Framework Data Access Object support - templates

Spring supports Data Access Object with 3 standard possible ways:

JDBC Templates
Hibernate Contextual Sessions
JPA Based templates


XML bean wiring includes follows:
Datasource configuration - JNDI or connection pool based
Wire template class with property to use the above datasource


JDBC Templates are for applications that are very small and requires quick development. Still will not support things like lazy loading, eager loading, cascade deletes, objects graph.

Hibernate Contextual sessions will support what is not supported by JDBC as mentioned above.

JPA based templates are JEE based standard and supports variety of frameworks from different vendors.

The templates are boiler plate code that is provided by Spring framework to write just the database access code and not worry about connection opening, closing, cleaning up of objects.

Had a good read on the above.

Hadoop in Practice book

Hadoop in practice book is available on Amazon.com.

This book looks promising for developers and architects, though I am still to read this book.

The book covers various practical approaches (practices) to various components of a Big Data or Hadoop based system.

Here's the link to the book - Hadoop in Practice Book

Force.com platform

Recently, I happen to visit the Force.com platform web site and thought of finding out the benefits of this platform for Cloud based application development.

There are many reviews for this on internet, one of this is here - http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Cloud-Computing/Building-for-the-Cloud-with-Forcecom-759200/

There is a complete eco system for Force.com platform, like developer community with certification programmes, companies directory for techies who can build apps for customers, online documentation, tools available for development, etc

Worth evaluating this option for new cloud application development.
