1. Does your book help me to setup any database (like MySQL, Oracle, MSSQL, DB2 etc) with Hibernate?
2. How does it help a novice to understand the integration of Spring and Hibernate?
3. Is this book about Spring or Hibernate?
4. Does the book talk about the benchmarking of other technologies ( like Grails, Ruby etc) with Spring/Hibernate?
5. Does this book help me in building engineering/scientific applications?
1. The book teaches you how to use Hibernate with HSQLDB and explains how other databases can be used with Hibernate and how they are different in Hibernate configuration.
2. At first, the book tries to teach you both frameworks from basic. However, the book covers advanced topics both on Spring and Hibernate context, so the book is also useful for intermediate learners.
3. The book covers both frameworks. But in the Spring section the book elaborates Spring's general services (commonly used in every application) with other services related to persistence.
4. No, the book is just on Spring and Hibernate.
5. The book does not provide any discussion on engineering/scientific applications, but with this book you will learn how Spring and Hibernate can be used in such applications.
