How to use custom type in JPA column?

Question

I have a class:

public class Email {
  private String name;
  private String domain;
  public String toString() {
    return name + \"@\" + domain;
  }  
}
<         


        

Answer 1

Well, there are a number of ways:

• annotate the Email class with @Embeddable, and have:

   @Embedded
   private Email email;
  

• declare a custom value type - see here (using @Type)
