Creating a Java Bean Entity for an Employee

5.1 Creating a Java Bean Entity for an Employee

The Employee class contains the getter and setter methods for all attributes of an employee. For example, the First_name has a getter and a setter method like getFirst_Name and setFirst_Name respectively.

Class Name: src/main/java/com/oracle/jdbc/samples/entity/Employee.java

Github Location: Employee.java

Steps to create Employee.java:

Declare the package for the class Employee.java.
```
package com.oracle.jdbc.samples.entity;
```

Import the following packages required for the Employee class.

import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Timestamp;

Declare an Employee class. Add a pair of parenthesis ({ }). Place the cursor in between the parenthesis:
```
public class Employee {}
```

Declare the following variables for each one of the attributes of an employee.

private int Employee_Id;
private String First_Name;
private String Last_Name;
private String Email;
private String Phone_Number;
private String Job_Id;
private int Salary;

Create a constructor for the Employee class which takes ResultSet as the input and throws a SQLException. In this constructor, set all the values for the attributes of the Employee class.

public Employee(ResultSet resultSet) throws SQLException {
  this.Employee_Id = resultSet.getInt(1);
  this.First_Name = resultSet.getString(2);
  this.Last_Name = resultSet.getString(3);
  this.Email = resultSet.getString(4);
  this.Phone_Number = resultSet.getString(5);
  this.Job_Id = resultSet.getString(6);
  this.Salary = resultSet.getInt(7);
}

Create the Getter and Setter methods, that is, getX and setX methods to get and set the values for all attributes of the Employee such as Employee_id, first_name, last_name, salary, and so on. For example, the getter and setter methods for the Employee_Id is as follows:
```
public int getEmployee_Id() {
   return Employee_Id;
}
  public void setEmployee_Id(int Employee_Id) {
     this.Employee_Id = Employee_Id;
  }
```
