Annotation Type Embeddable

Note that the Transient annotation may be used to designate the non-persistent state of an embeddable class.

    Example 1:

    @Embeddable public class EmploymentPeriod { 
       @Temporal(DATE) java.util.Date startDate;
       @Temporal(DATE) java.util.Date endDate;
      ... 
    }

    Example 2:

    @Embeddable public class PhoneNumber {
        protected String areaCode;
        protected String localNumber;
        @ManyToOne PhoneServiceProvider provider;
        ...
     }

    @Entity public class PhoneServiceProvider {
        @Id protected String name;
         ...
     }

    Example 3:

    @Embeddable public class Address {
       protected String street;
       protected String city;
       protected String state;
       @Embedded protected Zipcode zipcode;
    }

    @Embeddable public class Zipcode {
       protected String zip;
       protected String plusFour;
     }
