What is Hibernate mapping?

Can you explain what Hibernate mapping is?

Hibernate mapping is a way to define how Java objects are mapped to database tables. It allows you to manage database operations using Java code.

What are the different types of Hibernate mapping?

There are several types of Hibernate mapping, including XML mapping, annotation-based mapping, and programmatic mapping.

How do I use annotations for mapping in Hibernate?

To use annotations, you can annotate your entity classes with @Entity, @Table, and other relevant annotations to define the mapping.

Can you give me an example of a mapped entity?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
public class User {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;
    private String name;
    private String email;
}
