/**
* Specifies a primary key column that is used as a foreign key
* to join to another table.
*
* It is used to join the primary table of an entity subclass
* in the {@link InheritanceType#JOINED JOINED} mapping strategy
* to the primary table of its superclass; it is used within a
* {@link SecondaryTable} annotation to join a secondary table
* to a primary table; and it may be used in a {@link OneToOne}
* mapping in which the primary key of the referencing entity
* is used as a foreign key to the referenced entity.
*
*
If no {@code PrimaryKeyJoinColumn} annotation is specified
* for a subclass in the {@code JOINED} mapping strategy, the
* foreign key columns are assumed to have the same names as the
* primary key columns of the primary table of the superclass.
*
*
Example: {@code Customer} and {@code ValuedCustomer} subclass
* {@snippet :
* @Entity
* @Table(name = "CUST")
* @Inheritance(strategy = JOINED)
* @DiscriminatorValue("CUST")
* public class Customer { ... }
*
* @Entity
* @Table(name = "VCUST")
* @DiscriminatorValue("VCUST")
* @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "CUST_ID")
* public class ValuedCustomer extends Customer { ... }
* }
*

* @see Inheritance
* @see OneToOne
* @see ForeignKey
