Key Value Mapping

Is there any way to map the fields of my java object to db table in key- value format.

For ex, in my table table1, I have just two fields.
Name Value

and I have two rows as

Name Value
name1 value1
name2 value2

In my java object I have getter and setter methods like getName1() and getName2()..

How do I map the objects' fields to the table's rows?

But you'll have only 1 table per instance in your DLL !

Anyway the easiest way is to map you object with a Map (key, value)
And add unmapped getters and setters to access the appropriate map key

Code:

/** mapped collection */
private Map getMap() {...}

...

public getName1() {
  return getMap().get("name1");
}

public setName1(String name1) {
  return getMap().put("name1", name1);
}
