Hooking POJOs

You already know that jOOQ can generate POJOs on our behalf and it can handle user-defined POJOs, too. Moreover, you saw a significant number of mappings of a jOOQ result into POJOs (typically, via fetchInto()); therefore, this is not a brand new topic for you. However, in this section, let's take a step further and really focus on different types of POJOs that are supported by jOOQ.

If all we configure is <pojos>true</pojos> (here, Maven), then jOOQ generates POJOs with private fields, empty constructors, constructors with arguments, getters and setters, and toString(). However, jOOQ can also handle a very simple user-defined POJO such as this one:

public class SimplestCustomer { 
   public String customerName; 
   public String customerPhone; 
}

Here is a query that populates this POJO:

List<SimplestCustomer> result = ctx.select(
   CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_NAME, CUSTOMER.PHONE.as("customerPhone...
