AttributeOverride

public class AttributeOverride
The AttributeOverride annotation is used to override the mapping of a {@link Basic} (whether explicit or default) property or field or Id property or field.

The AttributeOverride annotation may be applied to an entity that extends a mapped superclass or to an embedded field or property to override a basic mapping defined by the mapped superclass or embeddable class. If the AttributeOverride annotation is not specified, the column is mapped the same as in the original mapping.

Example: @MappedSuperclass public class Employee { @Id protected Integer id; @Version protected Integer version; protected String address; public Integer getId() { ... } public void setId(Integer id) { ... } public String getAddress() { ... } public void setAddress(String address) { ... } } @Entity @AttributeOverride(name="address", column=@Column(name="ADDR")) public class PartTimeEmployee extends Employee { // address field mapping overridden to ADDR protected Float wage(); public Float getHourlyWage() { ... } public void setHourlyWage(Float wage) { ... } }
