Hey all - I'm new to hibernate and wanted to get some feedback from forum members that may have had a similar issue as myself. I have two tables listed below. I need to have some data in the orderStatusTable to be there as "constants" and also need to support the addition of new data by a user.
- Is there a preferred way to model this in hibernate?
- Ideally, I'd like to have some static constants in my entity class representing some of the default data loaded at deployment.

I would really be grateful to anyone who can provide me with some pointers on this.

Sample usage:


Table structure:

orderTable


orderStatusTable
