@AttributeOverrides annotation in hibernate/JPA

@AttributeOverrides annotation is used in hibernate/JPA to rename the column(s) name of the embadable class while it is being embedded in other class.
Suppose A class is embedded in class B, then if A entity contains the column name of any property "phone", then B entity can override the column name to "mobileNumber". So, in the table, column name will be "mobileNumber".

package entity;

import java.io.Serializable;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Embeddable;

@Embeddable
public class ContactKey implements Serializable {
    private int roll;
    private String sem;
    private String branch;

    public int getRoll() {
        return roll;
    }

    public void setRoll(int roll) {
        this.roll = roll;
    }

    @Column(name = "sem")
    public String getSem() {
        return sem;
    }

    public void setSem(String sem) {
        this.sem = sem;
    }

    public String getBranch() {
        return branch;
    }

    public void setBranch(String branch) {
        this.branch = branch;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "ContactKey [roll=" + roll + ", sem=" + sem + ", branch="
                + branch + "]";
    }
}


package entity;

import javax.persistence.AttributeOverride;
import javax.persistence.AttributeOverrides;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;

@Entity(name="Contact")
@Table(name="Contact")
public class Contact {
    
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private    int id;
    
    @Embedded
    @AttributeOverrides(
            @AttributeOverride(name="sem",column=@Column(name="semester"))
    )
    private ContactKey contactKey;
    private String name;
    private String email;
    private long phone;
    
    
    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;
    }

    public long getPhone() {
        return phone;
    }
    
    public void setPhone(long phone) {
        this.phone = phone;
    }
    
    public ContactKey getContactKey() {
        return contactKey;
    }

    public void setContactKey(ContactKey contactKey) {
        this.contactKey = contactKey;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    
}

here, database table will not contain the column "sem". It will have the "semester" column since we have overridden in contact entity.
