Is there a source for real-world Spring and Hibernate examples?
hibernate, java, spring
Solution
One good example application using the technologies you are interested in (and that is not a toy application) is petclinic.
A real world site that is powered by the latest Java and Spring tech is spring.io! Check out the github repository here. A series of blog posts on the development of that site can be found here
Problem
I have looked through a number of Spring and Hibernate tips and have not found a real-world example in 'tutorial' form. By real-world I mean (for example): - A search is used to retrieve a Person object. That object detail is then displayed. A field of the object is then modified by the user and the form is submitted and the object is saved. Most examples perform retrieval and save in the same method, which is identical to the example on the Spring website. - An object has more than 3 or 4 fields, including fields that normally would not be on the form (e.g. createdDate, createdBy, lastModifiedDate, lastModifiedBy). - A command object is associated with the form. So we have person.jsp, PersonForm.java, and PersonController.java. Pointers to the three examples mentioned above would be appreciated.
