In Relation To

We’re happy to announce the release of Hibernate OGM 5.4.0.Alpha1.

Hibernate OGM is now compatible with Hibernate ORM 5.3 (still a candidate release) and JPA 2.2. We support Infinipan 9.2 and JBoss modules are now available as WildFly feature packs.

You can run server-side JavaScript on MongoDB or Java code in Infinispan Embedded as if they were stored procedures using the JPA approach.

When using the Infinispan Remote dialect it is now possible to configure new caches using the @CacheConfiguration annotation.

All the changes are described in detail in the release notes.

We just published 5.10.0.Beta2, the second beta release for the 5.10 branch. This release mainly includes an upgrade to WildFly 12 for the JBoss modules, but it also adds a few bugfixes and improvements: see below!

We’re happy to announce the release of Hibernate OGM 5.3.1.Final.

This is the first maintenance release of the 5.3 branch.

Following the "release early, release often" motto, here comes a new version of Hibernate Validator, 6.0.9.Final.

It brings some nice improvements and fixes a couple of bugs.

This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator and it is a drop-in replacement of 6.0.8.Final, except if you already started to use the new constraint validator payload feature (see below).

The Sixteenth bug-fix release for Hibernate ORM 5.2 has just been published.

While Java 9 has reached its end-of-life earlier this week, the Java Platform Module System (JPMS, JSR 376) is here to stay. This means also specifications such as the Java Persistence API or Bean Validation will eventually have to be adjusted to support and take advantage of the module system.

This blog post is the first of a series on exploring JPMS modularity patterns for specification APIs. In this part we’re going to look into how implementations of a specification API can be bootstrapped in a portable way and how such implementations can access the private state of modules of the user of the API. As discussed a while ago, the latter is a common requirement; for instance JPA providers must do so for reading and writing entity state.

Hibernate Validator 6.0 has matured a lot since its first release, last August.

We added a couple of new features but we also invested a lot of work in improving the overall performances.

I published a first blog post last October to share an update about our performance work based on 6.0.4.Final.

We just released 6.0.8.Final and have a couple more improvements baked for our next release so it’s definitely time for an update.

In this post, I’d like you to meet Mark Rotteveel, software developer and open source enthusiast.
