iBATIS, Hibernate, and JPA: Which is right for you?

Object-relational mapping in Java is a tricky business, and solutions like JDBC and entity beans have met with less than overwhelming enthusiasm. But a new generation of ORM solutions has since emerged. These tools allow for easier programming and a closer adherence to the ideals of object-oriented programming and multi-tiered architectural development. Learn how Hibernate, iBATIS, and the Java Persistence API compare based on factors such as query-language support, performance, and portability across different relational databases.

Custom schema generation with Hibernate annotations

For a Java developer, Hibernate 3 annotations offer a terrific way to model the domain layer. Without much effort, you can get Hibernate to generate your database schema automatically, dispensing entirely with SQL scripts. Back in the real world, however, you still need to account for the sometimes obscure naming conventions used by your database administrator. In this article, Java Power Tools author John Ferguson Smart shows you how to generate database schemas automatically with Hibernate while still making your DBA happy.

Games preview: Super Monkey Ball, iPhone

The monkeys haven't changed - you still choose among AiAi, Gongon and friends - and neither has the transparent ball in which they roll around a series of mazes suspended over a bottomless precipice. The big change here is that rather than using an analogue joystick to tilt the maze delicately in the right direction to steer your monkey of choice around increasingly testing holes, ramps and obstacles, you simply tilt your iPhone. Initially confusing in that flat (ie the position in which your monkey stops rolling) is actually very slightly angled towards you for better visibility, it quickly becomes clear what the game wants you to do: use microscopically fine movements to guide your simian friend to its goal. Total lack of camera control is a problem, as is the movement of public transport, which will happily pitch the most cautiously ro

Consumers more likely to accept nanoparticles in packaging over food - study

Consumers have fewer concerns over packaging using nanoparticles than food utilizing the same technology, according to new study. The goal of the study from ETH Zurich's Institute for Environmental Decisions (IED), which was published in the journal Appetite, was to identify which food applications are more likely to be accepted by the public and which ones less likely. The researchers argue that it is important to take public views of nanotechnology into account at its early stage of development to avoid some of the problems that genetically modified (GM) technology has been faced with. They claim that their findings can help identify the food applications for which future public debates on nanotechnology could focus on.

Five Lightroom 2 Features That Should Excite You

Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 has been out for less then a day, and I've already heard from a number of people asking about the new version released Tuesday. A few current users have asked if it's worth the US$99 upgrade from Lightroom 1.0. Others who have been on the fence about investing in a $299 photo workflow tool have asked about what Adobe did that make Lightroom 2.0 an improvement over the initial release. (I've also gotten a couple of the inevitable, "Which do I choose: Aperture or Lightroom?" questions, to which I say, download the 30-day demos and see which one feels right to you.)

Five Lightroom 2 features that should excite you

Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 has been out for less then a day, and I've already heard from a number of people asking about the new version. A few current users have asked if it's worth the US$99 (approx. £50) upgrade from Lightroom 1.0.

Which Open Source Video Apps Use SMP Effectively?

ydrol writes "After building my new Core 2 Quad Q6600 PC, I was ready to unleash video conversion activity the likes of which I had not seen before. However, I was disappointed to discover that a lot of the conversion tools either don't use SMP at all, or don't balance the workload evenly across processors, or require ugly hacks to use SMP (e.g. invoking distributed encoding options). I get the impression that open source projects are a bit slow on the uptake here? Which open source video conversion apps take full native advantage of SMP? (And before you ask, no, I don't want to pick up the code and add SMP support myself, thanks.)"

Which Linux Distributions Are Dying?

"I just read Louis Gray's post titled 'On the Web, If You're Not Growing, You're Dying.' It gave me a chilling realization about web services. Like everything else, what goes up must come down. This must apply to Linux distributions too, right? So, what's happening with Linux? Which distributions are growing? Like Louis Gray, I'm going to use data from Google Trends. People searching the name of Linux distributions on Google can be considered new users. After all, wouldn't experienced Linux users already know where the websites of the big Linux distributions are?

The right Linux distribution

In a previous column, I asserted that Linux is ready to meet the demands of corporate desktops, while it is still some way off from being ready for mass use in the consumer environment. But, with that said, the obvious question that remains is: which distribution is right for your organisation?
