Hibernate - @Table, @GeneratedValue, @Column, @Temporal, @Transient and @Lob

See more annotations we use in entity bean class.

@Entity
@Table(name = "STUDENT_INFO") // change name only for the table, but not entity
public class Student {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue // no need to visibly set ID
    @Column(name = "STUDENT_ID")
    private int ID;

    @Column(name = "FIRST_NAME")
    private String firstName;

    @Column(name = "LAST_NAME")
    private String lastName;

    @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE) // persisted as date yyyy-mm-dd
    @Column(name = "JOIN_DATE")
    private Date joinDate;

    @Transient // not persisted in db
    @Column(name = "ADDRESS")
    private String address;

    @Lob
    @Column(name = "DESCRIPTION")
    private String description;
    ...

Test Code

        Student student = new Student();
        student.setFirstName("James");
        student.setLastName("Bond");
        student.setJoinDate(new Date());
        student.setAddress("Adelaide");
        student.setDescription("Long Description");
        ...

Console output
