JPA 2 Annotations
JPA defines dozens of annotations that can be divided into the following groups:
Annotations for JPA aware classes:
Annotations for fields in JPA persistable classes:
Annotations for additional JPA configuration:
Annotations for JPA lifecycle event callbacks:
Java EE container annotations:
Many other JPA annotations are designated for Object Relational Mapping (ORM) JPA providers (for mapping between a relational database and an object model and for direct SQL queries):
These ORM annotations are silently ignored by ObjectDB.
