/**
* Defines a single-valued association to another entity that has one-to-one multiplicity. It is not normally necessary to specify the
* associated target entity explicitly since it can usually be inferred from the type of the object being referenced. If the relationship is
* bidirectional, the non-owning side must use the mappedBy element of the OneToOne annotation to specify the
* relationship field or property of the owning side.
*
*
* The OneToOne annotation may be used within an embeddable class to specify a relationship from the embeddable class to an
* entity class. If the relationship is bidirectional and the entity containing the embeddable class is on the owning side of the
* relationship, the non-owning side must use the mappedBy element of the OneToOne annotation to specify the
* relationship field or property of the embeddable class. The dot (".") notation syntax must be used in the mappedBy element
* to indicate the relationship attribute within the embedded attribute. The value of each identifier used with the dot notation is the name
* of the respective embedded field or property.
*
*
* Example 1: One-to-one association that maps a foreign key column
*
* // On Customer class:
*
* @OneToOne(optional=false)
* @JoinColumn(
* name="CUSTREC_ID", unique=true, nullable=false, updatable=false)
* public CustomerRecord getCustomerRecord() { return customerRecord; }
*
* // On CustomerRecord class:
*
* @OneToOne(optional=false, mappedBy="customerRecord")
* public Customer getCustomer() { return customer; }
*
*
* Example 2: One-to-one association that assumes both the source and target share the same primary key values.
*
* // On Employee class:
*
* @Entity
* public class Employee {
* @Id Integer id;
*
* @OneToOne @MapsId
* EmployeeInfo info;
* ...
* }
*
* // On EmployeeInfo class:
*
* @Entity
* public class EmployeeInfo {
* @Id Integer id;
* ...
* }
*
*
* Example 3: One-to-one association from an embeddable class to another entity.
*
* @Entity
* public class Employee {
* @Id int id;
* @Embedded LocationDetails location;
* ...
* }
*
* @Embeddable
* public class LocationDetails {
* int officeNumber;
* @OneToOne ParkingSpot parkingSpot;
* ...
* }
*
* @Entity
* public class ParkingSpot {
* @Id int id;
* String garage;
* @OneToOne(mappedBy="location.parkingSpot") Employee assignedTo;
* ...
* }
