With the Hibernate framework added to your project, you can map your Customer object to the
Customer table in the database. To keep things simple, you will use Hibernate's annotations to configure

The Customer class's mapping consists of identifying the object as an Entity using the JPA annotation
@Entity , specifying the table the entity maps to using the @Tab le annotation, and finally identifying the
ID for the table with the @Id tag. All other attributes on the Customer will be mapped automatically by
