Why @column annotations on getter methods

Hi,
Can any body tell me why we are having column annotation at the top of
getters . Is there any way to include it in the setters

Thanks in advance

Look at this attribute:

Code:

access="field|property|ClassName"

Quote:

access (optional - defaults to property): The strategy Hibernate should use for accessing the property value.

Check out PropertyAccessorFactory class.

No Hibernate annotations will not parse the setters.
You can put them on fields or getters

Yep, my misleading post. :-(

Since I saw @AccessType annotation also as TYPE annotation.

Will it work if you define some else (from 'field' or 'property') property accessor?

yes it should work meaning if @AccessType(whatever) is used then the @Id position should lead the parsing (either field or getters)
