    String carModel;
}




@Entity
    @Table
    public class A extends CommonFields{
    String name;
}

Answer 1

You can annotate the class with the common fields with @MappedSupperclass

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class CommonFields{
    @Id
    @Column(name = "ID")
    private long id;

    public void setId(long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public long getId() {
        return id;
    }
}

From the @MappedSuperclass doc:

Designates a class whose mapping information is applied to the entities that inherit from it. A mapped superclass has no separate table defined for it.
