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
Additional 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) -
pojosAsScalaCaseClasses: If you're using theScalaGenerator, this will generate POJOs as (mutable or immutable) Scala case classes -
pojosAsKotlinDataClasses: If you're using theKotlinGenerator, this will generate POJOs as (mutable or immutable) kotlin data classes -
pojosToString: Whether POJOs should have a generatedtoString()implementation. -
pojosEqualsAndHashCode: Whether POJOs should have generatedequals()andhashCode()implementations. These implementations are purely value-based, just like with records, i.e. two POJOs are equal if all their attributes are equal. -
unsignedTypes: This influences all relevant getters and setters -
validationAnnotations: JSR-303 validation annotations are used on generated records (details here)
