Hi,

Can some one explain the difference of each or is it same?

Entity class is the one we generate using JPA by mapping to the relevant table columns and with getter and setters for each data fileds right? eg: Customer table. we call the entity classes as domain classes or persistence classes right?
Then why DAO need for?

Thank You.

DAO: Data Access Object , the class in which we intract with Database.

Entity Object : Data Transfer Object[DTO] which used to transfer a particular values[properties] from user to Database and viceversa

[Sorry for the late reply] Correct . Entity Carries values to the DAO and DAO to View Layer
