Hibernate POJO class grtter method

[Hemakanta Sethi]

Hi

In Hibernate I have a POJO class(Employee), contain employeeId.
we generally create getter method as getEmployeeId.

public class MyEmployee
{
private String employeeId;
public String getEmployeeId(){
return employeeId;
}
public void setEMployeeId(String employeeId){
this.employeeId = employeeId;
}
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////

In th e above code can i declare
public static String getEmployeeId(){
return employeeId;
}

if No then why?

Why would you want to do that in the first place? Shouldn't the Id be unique to each instance?
