Question

I’m currently creating some POJOs to connect to an existing database called User. The database already has a userid that I would like to use. However the framework creates an id field that it appends to the end of the table. How can I specify that the framework should use the pre-existing userid field and not create a new one?

You can use @AttributeOverride:

@Entity
@AttributeOverride(name = "id", column = @Column(name = "userid"))
public class User extends Model { ... }
