In @Table(name = “tableName”) - make “tableName” a variable in JPA

Question

I am using JPA and I need to make the \"tableName\" a variable.

In a database, I have many tables, and my code needs to access the table where I specify it to read.

Answer 1

If you want only to reference/read the table name, it is possible as in the code below. If you want to change, it is not possible as Pascal said.

@Entity
@Table(name = Database.tableName)
public class Database implements Serializable {
    public static final String tableName = "TABLE_1";//this variable you can reference in other portions of your code. Of course you cannot change it.
    ...............
}
