I'm trying to mapping a data base from "Drupal" with Hibernate and JPA to make a Java layer for work with the data.

In a class, I need to add an attribute, called "rank" to use it later, but that attribute doesn't exist in the database, so I put @Transient annotation...

I use the set method to put a value on it, but later, the values are wrong (I don't understand why) So... there is a way to make that without modifying the data base?

for ur attribute make as a final .....thn it will not persist for your database....
