I have a Java POJO I've mapped to my table using Hibernate's annotations.

Right now my mapped POJO class has a rather awkward suffix. I would like to somehow alias my mapped class to a name that makes writing the HQL queries more natural

For example, I'd like:


...rather than:


...without having to refactor POJO class names.

It's a bit of a nitpick, but I'm curious how/if this is possible?

I figured it out. Use JPA's @Entity(name="YourDesiredEntityName") annotation.

This allows you to specify how you refer to annotated classes in your HQL queries.
