I am learning Spring and Hibernate. I prepared the entity of an image. The fields are succesfullu saved to the database as column names, but I need that some of properties to exist in the entity but not be saved to database. But the actually are being saved. I tried to remove a @Column annotation or use @Column(insertable=false, updatable=false) but not succeed. Always got the columns in the database with null value. So how to prevent Spring and Hibernate from create columns of certain fields. I am trying to do it with the fields size, width and height.
Code of the entity:
package tk.trzczy.gallery.domain;
import javax.persistence.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.Date;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnore;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
@Entity
@Table(name = "images")
public class Image {
@Id
@SequenceGenerator(name = "mySeqGen6", sequenceName = "mySeq6", initialValue = 11, allocationSize = 100)
@GeneratedValue(generator = "mySeqGen6")
private Integer id;
@Column(nullable = false, length = 300)
private String title;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String url;
@Column(insertable=false, updatable=false)
private Long width;
@Column(insertable=false, updatable=false)
private Long height;
@Column(insertable=false, updatable=false)
private Dimension size;
@ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST,fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="image_category_id")
private ImageCategory imageCategory;
@Column(name="datecreated", columnDefinition="TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")
private Date dateCreated;
@PrePersist
protected void onCreate() {
dateCreated = new Date();
}
@JsonIgnore
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
@JsonProperty
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public String getUrl() {
return url;
}
public void setUrl(String url) {
this.url = url;
}
@JsonIgnore
public Date getDateCreated() {
return dateCreated;
}
@JsonProperty
public void setDateCreated(Date dateCreated) {
this.dateCreated = dateCreated;
}
public Image() {}
public Image(Integer id, String title, String url) {
this.id = id;
this.title = title;
this.url = url;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Post{" +
"id=" + id +
", title='" + title + '\'' +
", url='" + url + '\'' +
", date=" + dateCreated +
'}';
}
@JsonIgnore
public ImageCategory getImageCategory() {
return imageCategory;
}
@JsonProperty
public void setImageCategory(ImageCategory imageCategory) {
this.imageCategory = imageCategory;
}
public long getWidth() {
return width;
}
public void setWidth(long width) {
this.width = width;
}
public long getHeight() {
return height;
}
public void setHeight(long height) {
this.height = height;
}
public Dimension getSize() {
return size;
}
public void setSize(Dimension size) {
this.size=size;
}
}

transient is a Java keyword which marks a member variable not to be serialized when it is persisted to streams of bytes.
@Transient annotation in JPA or Hibernate is used to indicate that a field is not to be persisted or ignore fields to save in the database. @Transient exist in javax. persistence package. It is used to annotate a property or field of an entity class, mapped superclass, or embeddable class.
hence mark the Field as @Transient.
