This article mainly includes information about Project Lombok and it's annotations with examples.
Composite primary keys (Composite Identifier) typically used when mapping from legacy databases, where the primary key is comprised of several columns. In JPA, you have to make use of either of @EmbeddedId and @IdClass annotations to denote composite keys. Composite Identifiers are also known as Derived identities.

There are several ways JPA/Hibernate can generate primary keys for your entities. Remember, primary keys can be generated using one of the available 4 strategies. It is always advisable to use GenerationType.AUTO or GenerationType.SEQUENCE.
JPA must be annotated with @Entity and its id field should be annotated with @Id. There are several other optional annotations available, they will be discussed as part of Entity Mapping. JPA annotations can be placed on fields and/or on properties (getter/setter). You will learn Access Type in details in this section.
n object that hibernate/JPA can persist in the database and retrieve it back whenever needed is called an Entity. JPA manages various states of these entities. There are 4 states of an Object in JPA and these are New (Transient), Persistent (Managed), Detached (Unmanaged) and Removed (deleted).
