Guys,

The following is from Beginning Hibernate, that says,

Hibernate types fall into three broad categories: entities, components, and values.

I understand Entities, but what are components and values?

Components are composite values, so things like User to Address which while in the database might be in the same table as the User information, but in the Java world you want to use composition and create a User object and an Address Object.

Values are the built in value types, like String, int.
