## Annotation Type Transient

    @Target(value={METHOD,FIELD})
     @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    public @interface Transient

Specifies that the property or field is not persistent. It is used to annotate a property or field of an entity class, mapped superclass, or embeddable class.

        Example:

        @Entity
        public class Employee {
            @Id int id;
            @Transient User currentUser;
            ...
        }
