Inheritance mapping in hibernate :JOINED strategy

We can map each class in individual table in database using JOINED strategy.
using @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED) annotation, we can define this strategy. In this approach, primary key of the super class works as foreign key in sub class.So at the time of dealing with data, Hibernate Joins the tables for getting consolidated values for Subclass Object.
you can use @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn and @PrimaryKeyJoinColumns annotations to define the primary key(s) of the joined subclass table.

This approach is better than single table strategy.

import javax.persistence.*;
@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class Employee{
    private int empId;
    private String name;
    private String email;
    @Id @GeneratedValue
    public int getEmpId() {
        return empId;
    }
    public void setEmpId(int empId) {
        this.empId = empId;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }
    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
    
}
