Hibernate component mapping

Component Class:

A class is said to be a component class if it is completely depends upon its container class life cycle and it is stored as a member variable not as an instance.

Component mapping:

If an entity class has a reference entity as a component variable then this property can mapped by using <component> element.

Example:

Student.java

/**
 * This class represents a persistent class for Student.
 * @author w3schools
 */
public class Student {
	//data members
	private int studentId;
	private String firstName;
	private String lastName;
	private String rollNo;
	private int age;
	private StudentClass studentClass;
 
	//no-argument constructor
	public Student(){
 
	}
 
	//argument constructor
	public Student(String firstName, String lastName, String 
                        rollNo, int age, StudentClass studentClass){
		this.firstName = firstName;
		this.lastName = lastName;
		this.rollNo = rollNo;
		this.age = age;	
		this.studentClass = studentClass;
	}
 
	//getter and setter methods
	public int getStudentId() {
		return studentId;
	}
	public void setStudentId(int studentId) {
		this.studentId = studentId;
	}
	public String getFirstName() {
		return firstName;
	}
	public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
		this.firstName = firstName;
	}
	public String getLastName() {
		return lastName;
	}
	public void setLastName(String lastName) {
		this.lastName = lastName;
	}
	public String getRollNo() {
		return rollNo;
	}
	public void setRollNo(String rollNo) {
		this.rollNo = rollNo;
	}
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
	public StudentClass getStudentClass() {
		return studentClass;
	}
	public void setStudentClass(StudentClass studentClass) {
		this.studentClass = studentClass;
	}
 
}

StudentClass.java

/**

public class StudentClass {
	//data members
	private String classId;
	private String className;
 
	//no argument constructor
	public StudentClass(){
 
	}
 
	//argument constructor
	public StudentClass(String className){
		this.className = className;
	}
 
	//getter and setter methods
	public String getClassId() {
		return classId;
	}
	public void setClassId(String classId) {
		this.classId = classId;
	}
	public String getClassName() {
		return className;

	public void setClassName(String className) {
		this.className = className;
