/**
 * Specifies the version field or property of an entity class that
 * serves as its optimistic lock value.  The version is used to ensure
 * integrity when performing the merge operation and for optimistic
 * concurrency control.
 *
 *  Only a single Version property or field 
 * should be used per class; applications that use more than one 
 * Version property or field will not be portable. 
 * 
 * 
 The Version property should be mapped to 
 * the primary table for the entity class; applications that 
 * map the Version property to a table other than 
 * the primary table will not be portable.
 * 
 * 
 The following types are supported for version properties: 
 * int, Integer, short, 
 * Short, long, Long, 
 * java.sql.Timestamp.
 *
 * 
 *    Example:
 *
 *    @Version
 *    @Column(name="OPTLOCK")
 *    protected int getVersionNum() { return versionNum; }
 * 
 *
 * @since 1.0
