Annotation Type DbField

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=FIELD)
public @interface DbField

The DbField annotation is applied to regular Java properties. It can be applied to the property itself, or to the corresponding getter method. 'get' and 'set' methods must exist. The property values for an existing persisted object are populated when the Java object is first created from the JADE equivalent object. For a new Java object, they are populated by user code and updated to the equivalent JADE object when an EntityManager.persist(object) method is called. The property must be a primitive property (which includes Calendar and String), not a reference to another Java class and notto a collection
