Hibernate looking for column which I've marked as @Transient

Question

I have a JPA entity with a few fields which is running well. I now am adding a new field and have marked it @Transient as I donot want it to be persisted. However on running tests or deploying the app I get an error stating: Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Missing column: columnName in dbname.tableName

Why is Hibernate looking for the column in the database schema even though I've marked it to be Transient?

Answer 1

Was a mistake on my part. Was using org.springframework.data.annotation.Transient whereas should've been using javax.persistence.Transient.
