Question

I have one Pojo class in which I create one field which is not mapped with DataBase Table.
So i have to declare the field Declaration and setter and getter method @Transient, otherwise it would have shown an error.

@Transient
private String docHistoryString="";

@Transient
public String getDocHistoryString() {
    return docHistoryString;
}

@Transient
public void setDocHistoryString(String docHistoryString) {
    this.docHistoryString = docHistoryString;
}

Now, my problem is in the controller. I have set some value in this transient field but when I try to access this variable using EL in view(JSP) it is not giving value. I think this is becouse I used the @transient annotation in get method.

All Hibernate annotations, including @Transient must be applied according to access type. By default it will be the same way as @Id applied. That is if you place @Id on a field you must apply @Transient to the field. And if you apply @Id to getter method, you must apply @Transient method. Setter methods are always ignored.

It can be customized, though (per documentation), so make sure that someone didn’t do something strange with access types.
