A Component (Embedded Object) is an object that is persisted as a value type, not an entity (table). A Component mapping is a mapping for a class having a reference to another class as a member variable.
Consider the following Person class
Person class contains the following properties like firstName, lastName, age, houseNo, street etc. Instead of keeping the all attributes in one class(Person) we can divide the some properties(house, street, city) into separate class (Address) and map that attribute to Person class.
In the above example, Address is a component in the Person class and it can't have its own primary key, it uses the primary key of the enclosing Person entity.
Generally we can use, to get the form data from multiple pages and save the data into a single table.
Components can in turn declare their own properties, components or collections.
<component
name="propertyName"
class="className"
insert="true|false"
update="true|false"
access="field|property|ClassName"
lazy="true|false"
optimistic-lock="true|false"
unique="true|false"
node="element-name|."
>
<property ...../>
<many-to-one .... />
........
</component>
name="propertyName"
class="className"
insert="true|false"
update="true|false"
access="field|property|ClassName"
lazy="true|false"
optimistic-lock="true|false"
unique="true|false"
node="element-name|."
>
<property ...../>
<many-to-one .... />
........
</component>
name: the name of the property.
class (optional - defaults to the property type determined by reflection): the name of the component (child) class.
insert: do the mapped columns appear in SQL INSERTs?
update: do the mapped columns appear in SQL UPDATEs?
access (optional - defaults to property): the strategy Hibernate uses for accessing the property value.
lazy (optional - defaults to false): specifies that this component should be fetched lazily when the instance variable is first accessed. It requires build-time bytecode instrumentation.
optimistic-lock (optional - defaults to true): specifies that updates to this component either do or do not require acquisition of the optimistic lock. It determines if a version increment should occur when this property is dirty.
unique (optional - defaults to false): specifies that a unique constraint exists upon all mapped columns of the component.
