Hi,

I have two tables:

1) Application(int appid, int statusid, String appname, String appcity with getter and Setter methods)

2) App_Status(int statusid,String statusDescription with setter and getter methods)

I want to map Application table with App_Status so that I don't have to query separately App_Status table in order to get the statusDescription. One thing I have to careful is that no matter what (Insert,update or delete) to the Application table the App_Status table should be unaffected means its a read only table which is maintained by the DBA internally and used only for lookup table.

I am using JPA annotations so please suggest how to handle this.
