First one only has field1

Answer 1

Good question, I assume you have to look at @MappedSuperclass anotation. It allows to make an "abstract" entity class that would not be instantiated, however you can extend from that.

See example of that here

Update: Since you use @Entity anotation, you dont have to use @Table since Hibernate will create table named @Entity for you.
