ObjectDB Database Search

The fields of persistable user-defined classes (entity classes, embeddable classes, and mapped superclasses) can be classified into the following five groups: Transient fields Persistent fields Inverse ( mappedBy ) fields Primary key (ID) fields Version field The first three groups (transient

Jakarta Persistence (JPA) annotations define how entity attributes ( fields and properties ... , relationship types, and data storage formats. General field mapping Configure standard state mapping behavior using the following annotations: Sets a field or property of a basic attribute (e.g., primitives

It can contain constructors, methods, fields , and nested types with any access modifier ( public , protected

Marking a field with the @GeneratedValue annotation indicates that the field's value is automatically generated. This annotation is primarily for primary key fields , but ObjectDB also supports it for non-key numeric persistent fields . The following sections explain the available value generation

about managed classes, persistent fields , and properties, similar to how Java reflection provides ... managed fields and properties , also known as attributes. For example: // Get all the attributes ... an ID class when you use multiple ID fields or properties. Finally, the EntityType interface adds

This practice is required by the JPA specification ... of persistent field modifications, which avoids the need for snapshot comparison of entities (as

Cascading persist Marking a reference field ... operations are automatically cascaded to entities that are referenced by that field . A collection field

The elements in the example rename the A , C

Its persistent attributes ( fields and properties) and their settings ... can access persistent state directly ( field access) or through getters and setters (property access). Use these annotations to configure the access type: Sets the access type ( FIELD or PROPERTY

Generation configuration Configure field -level generation behavior using the following annotation and enumeration: Specifies that the property or field value
