Model are the way to represents item in Hybris ie. each of item is represented by in Model Class. So Model class is just like POJO class
which contain all item attributes
For every item type after build Hybris framework that create class with suffix Model and configuration file i.e. for product type item model class
will create with name ProductModel
Suppose you have define below item type in items.xml
<itemtype
generate="true"
code="ContactRequest"
jaloclass="de.hybris.springmvcdemo.jalo.ContactRequest"
extends="GenericItem"
autocreate="true"
>
<attributes>
<attribute qualifier="message" type="java.lang.String">
<persistence type="property"/>
</attribute>
</attributes>
</itemtype>
Then generated model class will be
package de.hybris.springmvcdemo.model;
import de.hybris.platform.core.model.ItemModel;
/**
* Generated Model class for type ContactRequest first defined at extension {literal}springmvcdemo{literal}
