# 29.3.1. 实体类 通常，JPA实体类被定义到一个`persistence.xml`文件，在Spring Boot中，这个文件被'实体扫描'取代。默认情况，Spring Boot会查找主配置类（被`@EnableAutoConfiguration`或`@SpringBootApplication`注解的类）下的所有包。 任何被`@Entity`，`@Embeddable`或`@MappedSuperclass`注解的类都将被考虑，一个普通的实体类看起来像这样： ```java package com.example.myapp.domain; import java.io.Serializable; import javax.persistence.*; @Entity public class City implements Serializable { @Id @GeneratedValue private Long id; @Column(nullable = false) private String name; @Column(nullable = false) private String state; // ... additional members, often include @OneToMany mappings protected City() { // no-args constructor required by JPA spec // this one is protected since it shouldn't be used directly } public City(String name, String state) { this.name = name; this.country = country; } public String getName() { return this.name; } public String getState() { return this.state; } // ... etc } ``` **注** 你可以使用`@EntityScan`注解自定义实体扫描路径，具体参考[Section 74.4, “Separate @Entity definitions from Spring configuration”](https://github.com/cwiki-us-spring-guides/Spring-Boot-Reference-Guide/tree/0047aa8098a650dde0c93f4d2e91754c83468c4b/IX.%20‘How-to’%20guides/74.4.%20Separate%20@Entity%20definitions%20from%20Spring%20configuration.md)。
