About Ebean

JPA Mapping

Ebean uses JPA mapping annotations.

@Entity
@Table(name="customer")
public class Customer extends BaseModel {

  @Column(length=100)
  String name;

  @ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
  Address billingAddress;

  @OneToMany(mappedBy="customer")
  List<Contact> contacts;
  ...

Simple to use

Ebean provides a simple programming model that developers can understand and master quickly.

// insert ...
Customer customer = new Customer("Joe");
customer.save();

...

// find and update ...
Customer customer = Customer.find.byId(42);
customer.setName("Montana");
customer.save();

Queries

We can use Query beans to build queries in a type safe manner.

List<Customer> customers
  = new QCustomer()
    .name.istartsWith("rob")
    .billingAddress.city.equalTo("Auckland")
    .setMaxRows(10)
    .orderBy()
      .name.asc()
    .findList();
