/**
* The AttributeOverride annotation is used to
* override the mapping of a {@link Basic} (whether explicit or
* default) property or field or Id property or field.
*
* The AttributeOverride annotation may be
* applied to an entity that extends a mapped superclass or to
* an embedded field or property to override a basic mapping
* defined by the mapped superclass or embeddable class. If the
* AttributeOverride annotation is not specified,
* the column is mapped the same as in the original mapping.
*
*
* Example:
*
* @MappedSuperclass
* public class Employee {
* @Id protected Integer id;
* @Version protected Integer version;
* protected String address;
* public Integer getId() { ... }
* public void setId(Integer id) { ... }
* public String getAddress() { ... }
* public void setAddress(String address) { ... }
* }
*
* @Entity
* @AttributeOverride(name="address", column=@Column(name="ADDR"))
* public class PartTimeEmployee extends Employee {
* // address field mapping overridden to ADDR
* protected Float wage();
* public Float getHourlyWage() { ... }
* public void setHourlyWage(Float wage) { ... }
* }
*
