Records in Jakarta Data by dynamically creating a stand-in class

[njr-11]

User Story:
"As a user of repository-based data access, I would like to use Java records as entities to avoid the boilerplate code that typically needs to be written for entity classes."

Jakarta Persistence (JPA) does not support records, but it could be possible for us to send another class to stand in for the record. Jakarta Persistence does have a standard way by which we can instruct it to create instances of the record rather than the entity class when performing queries. We could do all of this transparently to the user, and the only expected additional cost would be the creation of the extra class when defining the entity.
