Is it possible in JPA to redefine inherited attributes as transient?

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class BaseBean{
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    Long id;
    String name;
}

@Entity
public class A extends BaseBean{

}

@Entity
public class B extends BaseBean{

}

Is it possible to set the name attribute as transient just for the class B

Solution

  • No, it doesn't work. The @MappedSuperclass fields/properties are always considered and even when you use property-access and try to override the properties with different annotation, Hibernate will still use the one from the base class.
