How to model an entity field of type Money.class?

[tonylmai]

Hello all,

Say I have a customized class called Money. I would like to model an entity bean called Account that has a field called balance of type Money.

@Entity
public class Account implements Serializable {
 private Money balance;


 @Column(nullable=false, columnDefinition="bigint")
 public Money getBalance() {
 return balance;
 }
...
}

What do I need to do with this Money class to have EntityManager able to map this Money field?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
you need to create a separate class Money and map the filelds to database columns using annotations

Class Money{

int rupees ;
int paise;

@column(name="Rupees"
public int getRupees(){
}
@column(name="Paise")
public int getPaise(){
}

Hope this explanation will work out.
Let me know if u need more clarification.

Thanks
