Hibernate equivalent of MetaData

[Maya sekar]

Hi,

So I know there is an option in sql where you can fetch column names of a table using metadata,


In hibernate... say i don't know the name of the column i'll be inserting values in.. how do i retrieve the available columns names from a table in hibernate? Is that even possible and if so how?

I understand that i need to map a table to bean to be able to access it... But still is it possible?

Any point in the right direction is much appreciated... thank you in advance

have a nice day
