/** 
 * Specifies a static, named query in the Jakarta Persistence query language.
 * Query names are scoped to the persistence unit.
 * The NamedQuery annotation can be applied to an entity or mapped superclass.
 *
 *  The following is an example of the definition of a named query 
 * in the Jakarta Persistence query language:
 *
 * 
 *    @NamedQuery(
 *            name="findAllCustomersWithName",
 *            query="SELECT c FROM Customer c WHERE c.name LIKE :custName"
 *    )
 * 
 *
 *  The following is an example of the use of a named query:
 *
 * 
 *    @PersistenceContext
 *    public EntityManager em;
 *    ...
 *    customers = em.createNamedQuery("findAllCustomersWithName")
 *            .setParameter("custName", "Smith")
 *            .getResultList();
 * 
 *
 * @since 1.0
