"Mapping" an Object to a Table

1. Create a Java Object (POJO style) with fields, and getters/setters that follow the POJO convention:
   • getters and setters work like getXXXX and setXXXX where XXXX = the field name with a capital first letter
   • boolean getters follow the "is" convention, so a boolean would be setXXXX and isXXXX.
2. The Object's name matches a table in the database. The database's table name should be an all lowercase version of the Java Object

That's it!

Example:

public class User {
    private String name;
    private String password;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }

}

Would map to a database table that looks like this, with the name of user:

column name	type
name	text
password	text
