/**
*
* Maps a JavaBean property to a map of wildcard attributes.
*
*
Usage
*
* The @XmlAnyAttribute annotation can be used with the
* following program elements:
*
* - JavaBean property
* - non static, non transient field
*
*
* See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
* additional common information.
*
* The usage is subject to the following constraints:
*
* - At most one field or property in a class can be annotated
* with @XmlAnyAttribute.
* - The type of the property or the field must java.util.Map
*
*
*
* While processing attributes to be unmarshalled into a value class,
* each attribute that is not statically associated with another
* JavaBean property, via {@link XmlAttribute}, is entered into the
* wildcard attribute map represented by
* {@link Map}<{@link QName},{@link Object}>. The attribute QName is the
* map's key. The key's value is the String value of the attribute.
