Generated POJOs
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Every table and view in your database will generate a POJO implementation that looks like this:
// JPA annotations can be generated, optionally @Entity @Table(name = "BOOK", schema = "TEST") public class Book implements java.io.Serializable // An interface common to records and pojos can be generated, optionally , IBook { // JSR-303 annotations can be generated, optionally @NotNull private Integer id; @NotNull private Integer authorId; @NotNull @Size(max = 400) private String title; // Every column generates a getter and a setter @Id @Column(name = "ID", unique = true, nullable = false, precision = 7) @Override public Integer getId() { return this.id; } @Override public void setId(Integer id) { this.id = id; } // [...] }
Flags influencing generated POJOs
These flags from the code generation configuration influence generated POJOs:
- daos: POJOs are a pre-requisite for DAOs. If DAOs are generated, POJOs are generated as well
- dateAsTimestamp: This influences all relevant getters and setters
- immutablePojos: Immutable POJOs have final members and no setters. All members must be passed to the constructor
- interfaces: If interfaces are generated, POJOs will implement them
- jpaAnnotations: JPA annotations are used on generated records (details here)
- jpaVersion: Version of JPA specification is to be used to generate version-specific annotations. If it is omitted, the latest version is used by default. (details here)
-
pojosToString: Whether POJOs should have a generated
toString()
implementation. -
pojosEqualsAndHashCode: Whether POJOs should have generated
equals()
andhashCode()
implementations. These implementations are purely value-based, just like with records, i.e. two POJOs are equal if all their attributes are equal. - validationAnnotations: JSR-303 validation annotations are used on generated records (details here)
Flags controlling POJO generation
POJO generation can be activated using the pojos flag
