Spring JPA - ignore entity field with @Transient

In this short article, we would like to show how to ignore some entiy fields in Spring JPA.

Quick solution:

Use @Transient annotation.

Practical example: 

package com.example;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import javax.persistence.Transient;

@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
public class UserEntiy {

    // some fields here ...    

    @Transient
    private String ignoredField;

    // some fields here ...   
}

Note: @Transient causes the field is not mapped by Hibernate (will be not serialized by Jackson too).
