If I completed the Spring and Hibernate courses, is there any extra setup I need to do to make a webapp with a database?

Hi there,

I have completed the Spring and Hibernate courses under the Java section of this site. Both were extremely informative courses that were easy to follow. However, I was wondering if I needed to do anything more than what was shown in the two courses in order to create a functioning webapp with a Hibernate database. Could I simply merge the two projects together and get a working product from that? It seems that there are not many good tutorials online that show how to integrate the two technologies using Gradle; most tutorials use Maven which seems much more difficult to work with than Gradle. I know there is a course coming in May that explains how to do all this, but I was wondering if someone could point me the right direction right now. Any help or guidance would be absolutely appreciated!
