Hi Kevin,

Firstly thanks for your tutorial on creating base entity classes.
I wonder if there is a reason for not having constructor or any @ArgConstructors... annotation from Lombok in your sample code?

Thanks again.

Hi mate!

Glad the article helped you.
For your question, if no other constructor is defined, a default no-arg constructor will be provided automatically at compile time of your application. That's why I have not put it in this article.

However, if you want to define a parameterized constructor @ArgConstructors, you must also provide a default constructor explicitly.

👀 If you would like to dive deeper on this topic, I recommend you this article on Baeldung :
