Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition

Recently bought "Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition" from Manning Publications Co. It contains Hibernate 5 in detail along with the Java Persistence 2.1 standard (JSR 338).

It's the first time for me to try out MEAP, Manning's Early Access Program. I can read chapters as they are written.

Once the book is finished, I get the dead-tree-copy in the mail.

So far, I'm rather pleased.

Properly Accessing your Outer Class

Recently, during my work, a colleague indicated a way to make it obvious that a variable used in an Inner class, belonged to the outer class. In order to prevent being ambiguous.


I didn't know that could work.
