How to name the foreign key constraint of ManyToOne references since JPA 2.1?

Question

@org.hibernate.annotations.ForeignKey has been deprecated, but I cannot find any examples how the JPA 2.1 equivalent would have to look like?

@ManyT         


        

Answer 1

As the documentation indicates, this annotation can't be applied to anything:

@Target(value={})

It can thus only be used as part of another annotation (listed in the See Also section):

@JoinColumn(foreignKey = @ForeignKey(name = "FK_USER"))
