title: Storing Objects in columns using Hibernate JPA
body: <p>Is it possible to store something like the following using only one table?  Right now, what hibernate will do is create two tables, one for Families and one for people.  I would like for the familymembers object to be serialized into the column in the database.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Entity(name = "family")
  class Family{
  
      private final List&lt;Person&gt; familyMembers;
  
  }
  
  class Person{
  
     String firstName, lastName;
     int age;
  
  }
  </code></pre>
