Name attribute in @Entity and @Table

Question

I have a doubt, because name attribute is there in both @Entity and @Table

For example, I\'m allowed to have same value for name attribute

@Entity(n         


        

Answer 1

@Entity is useful with model classes to denote that this is the entity or table

@Table is used to provide any specific name to your table if you want to provide any different name

Note: if you don't use @Table then hibernate consider that @Entity is your table name by default and @Entity must

@Entity    
@Table(name = "emp")     
public class Employee implements java.io.Serializable    
{

}
