Java 14 introduced Record as a lightweight, immutable alternative to POJOs. You can map annotated records as entities.

We have a full example at DataStax-Examples/object-mapper-jvm/record.

Note: records are a preview feature of Java 14. As such the mapper's support for them is also provided as a preview.

Annotate your records like regular classes:

@Entity
record Product(@PartitionKey int id, String description) {}

Records are immutable and use the fluent getter style, but you don't need to declare that explicitly with @PropertyStrategy: the mapper detects when it's processing a record, and will assume mutable = false, getterStyle = FLUENT by default.

You need to build with Java 14, and pass the --enable-preview flag to both the compiler and the runtime JVM. See pom.xml in the example.
