Annotation Interface TemporalId

@Target({METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface TemporalId

Specifies the "primary key" attribute of an entity that is always non-null and there can be no other entity with the same key at any point in time. Requirements:

• The same attribute should also be annotated with Id.
• The same attribute should also be annotated with GeneratedValue. It is suggested GenerationType.IDENTITY to be used for simplicity and that works with a column that has type "INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY".

It is possible to annotate the attribute with Column in order to use a different database column name. Other Column attributes should not be used.
