Defines the settings and mappings for an entity. Is allowed to be sparsely populated and used in conjunction with the annotations. Alternatively, the metadata-complete attribute can be used to indicate that no annotations on the entity class (and its fields or properties) are to be processed. If this is the case then the defaulting rules for the entity and its subelements will be recursively applied. @Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Entity { String name() default ""; }
