Welcome to the world of Hypersistence Utils, where the complexity of data handling meets simplicity and efficiency! If you’re transitioning from Hibernate Types 2.x to Hypersistence Utils 3.x, this guide will walk you through the essential steps in a straightforward manner.

Why Migrate?

The project name has shifted from Hibernate Types to Hypersistence Utils, reflecting its broader scope, now encompassing Spring utilities as well. This enables developers to leverage a suite of tools designed to enhance database interaction and management.

Simple Migration Steps

Here’s how to make a smooth transition:

1. Change Your Dependency: Update your Maven or Gradle dependency as outlined in the Installation Guide.
2. Modify Package Names: Update your package names:
   • From com.vladmihalcea.hibernate to io.hypersistence.utils.hibernate
   • From com.vladmihalcea.spring to io.hypersistence.utils.spring

The Benefits of Hypersistence Utils

This powerful tool provides a variety of utilities across different Hibernate versions (spanning from Hibernate ORM 6.6 down to 5.5), streamlining the integration and interaction with your databases.

Installation Guide

Install Hypersistence Utils based on the Hibernate version you are using:

Hibernate 6.6, 6.5, 6.4, and 6.3

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.hypersistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>hypersistence-utils-hibernate-63</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.3</version>
</dependency>

Hibernate 6.2

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.hypersistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>hypersistence-utils-hibernate-62</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.3</version>
</dependency>

Hibernate 6.1 and 6.0

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.hypersistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>hypersistence-utils-hibernate-60</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.3</version>
</dependency>

Hibernate 5.6 and 5.5

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.hypersistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>hypersistence-utils-hibernate-55</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.3</version>
</dependency>

Feature Highlights

Among its many features, Hypersistence Utils supports JSON mapping to various databases, allowing for smooth data interchange. Let’s explain this concept with an analogy.

Imagine you’re at a restaurant. The menu is like your database schema, presenting various options to choose from. Each dish can have different ingredients (data types). Hypersistence Utils acts like a skilled waiter, ensuring that when you order a dish (data request), you get precisely what you asked for, without mixing up the ingredients. It facilitates seamless communication between you (the application) and the kitchen (the database).

Troubleshooting

While the migration process is designed to be easy, you may encounter challenges. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Dependency Issues: Ensure you’ve correctly referenced the appropriate dependency based on your Hibernate version.
• Package Naming Conflicts: Check that all package names have been updated accurately to avoid conflicts in your codebase.
• Optional Dependencies: If you’re using additional libraries like Guava or Jackson with Hypersistence, ensure their versions are compatible.
• Performance Monitoring: Consider utilizing tools like the Hypersistence Optimizer for optimal performance management.
