@javax.persistence.Column( updatable=false )

Question

If I define a field as non-updatable, does that mean that the field can\'t be updated at all, ever? What I\'d like to do is prevent the field from getting updated when I sav

@javax.persistence.Column( updatable=false )

The column mapped would not be updatable using HQL or via hibernate methods. In case you need to update the value in the DB you should be writing native SQL.

And if I see logically, it shouldn't allow you to update when you say updatable=false
