private BigDecimal salary;

@OneToOne(mappedBy = "employee", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private Car car;

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;

private String model;
private String color;

private Employee employee;
}

 // my serice:

}

Answer 1

As you already had specified fetchType Eager, whenever you fetch any of the object car or the employee you will get all the data of both the corresponding objects.

Answer 2

could you please explain what do you want exactly ? like If you want just to use both tables in a query that returns a one of your tables (exemple the cars by employee's name) there is no problem. But if you want to return columns from both tables you can have a look at this answer stackoverflow.com/a/47301366/14994239 it shows how to handle this.
