Hibernate: Add a property in my class that is not mapped to a db-table

Solution 1:

Use @Transient annotation for field you are not going to store in DB:

@Transient
public String getStatus() {
    return status;
}

or:

@Transient
private String status;

Solution 2:

Mark it as @Transient, and it won't be part of the DB schema.

Solution 3:

If you annotate a field with @Transient it will not be persisted.
