/**
* Identifies the primary key of an entity.
*
* The field or property to which the {@code Id} annotation is
* applied should have one of the following types:
* any Java primitive type;
* any primitive wrapper type;
* {@link String};
* {@link java.util.UUID};
* {@link java.util.Date};
* {@link java.sql.Date};
* {@link java.math.BigDecimal};
* {@link java.math.BigInteger}.
*
*
The mapped column for the primary key of the entity is assumed
* to be the primary key of the primary table. If no {@link Column}
* annotation is specified, the primary key column name is assumed to
* be the name of the primary key property or field.
*
*
Example:
* {@snippet :
* @Id
* public Long getId() { return id; }
* }
*
* @see Column
* @see GeneratedValue
* @see EmbeddedId
* @see PersistenceUnitUtil#getIdentifier(Object)
*
* @since 1.0
