Question

I thought when I have a class that I add the @Entity to it and also map it to a table, then when on a get property I add the @Column attribute and tell it what column of that table it should map it to… then I saw the @Transient annotation and it says if we add @Transient to a get, then Hibernate will Not save it to DB…so then I got confused: so does it mean default behaviour of Hibernate is to map every get to a similar named column in DB?

Every non static non transient property (field or method depending
on the access type) of an entity is considered persistent, unless you
annotate it as @Transient. Not having an annotation for your property
is equivalent to the appropriate @Basic annotation. The @Basic
annotation allows you to declare the fetching strategy for a property:
