Mapping with Annotations - Beginning Hibernate: From Novice to Professional - page 100

The set of example classes represents a publisher's catalog of books. You'll start with a sin-
gle class, Book , which has no annotations or mapping information. For this example's purposes,
you do not have an existing database schema to work with, so you need to define your rela-
tional database schema as you go.
At the beginning of the example, the Book class is very simple. It has two fields, title and
pages ; and an identifier, id , which is an integer. The title is a String object, and pages is an
integer. As we go through this example, we will add annotations, fields, and methods to the
Book class. The complete source code listing for the Book and Author classes is given at the end
of this chapter—the source files for the rest are available in the source code download for this
chapter on the Apress web site ( www.apress.com ).
Listing 6-3 gives the source code of the Book class, in its unannotated form, as a starting
point for the example.
