Hibernate JPA @Parent Example

The @Parent annotation is used to specify that the currently annotated embeddable attribute references back the owning entity.

Parent Reference the property as a pointer back to the owner (generally the owning entity).

@Parent mapping
The Hibernate-specific @Parent annotation allows you to reference the owner entity from within an embeddable.

Example 93. @Parent mapping usage
@Embeddable
public static class GPS {

private double latitude;

private double longitude;

@Parent
private City city;

//Getters and setters omitted for brevity

}

@Entity(name = "City")
public static class City {

@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Long id;

private String name;

@Embedded
@Target( GPS.class )
private GPS coordinates;

//Getters and setters omitted for brevity

}
