/**
* 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 PrimaryKeyJoinColumn annotation is
* specified for a subclass in the 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: Customer and ValuedCustomer subclass
*
* @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 { ... }
