/**
 * 
 * Maps a JavaBean property to a XML attribute. 
 *
 * 
 Usage 
 * 
 * The {@code @XmlAttribute} annotation can be used with the
 * following program elements: 
 * 
 
 *    JavaBean property 
 *    field 
 * 
 *
 *  A static final field is mapped to a XML fixed attribute.
 *
 * 
See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
 * additional common information.
 *
 * The usage is subject to the following constraints:
 * 
 *    If type of the field or the property is a collection
 *        type, then the collection item type must be mapped to schema
 *        simple type.
 *  *     // Examples
 *     @XmlAttribute List<Integer> items; //legal
 *     @XmlAttribute List<Bar> foo; // illegal if Bar does not map to a schema simple type
 *  
 *   
 *    If the type of the field or the property is a non
 *         collection type, then the type of the property or field
 *         must map to a simple schema type.
 *  *     // Examples
 *     @XmlAttribute int foo; // legal
 *     @XmlAttribute Foo foo; // illegal if Foo does not map to a schema simple type
 * 
 *   
 *    This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
 *            {@link XmlID}, 
 *            {@link XmlIDREF},
 *            {@link XmlList},
 *            {@link XmlSchemaType},
 *            {@link XmlValue},
 *            {@link XmlAttachmentRef},
 *            {@link XmlMimeType},
 *            {@link XmlInlineBinaryData},
 *            {@link javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlJavaTypeAdapter}.
 * 
 *
 *  Example 1: Map a JavaBean property to an XML attribute.
 *  *     //Example: Code fragment
 *     public class USPrice { 
 *         @XmlAttribute
 *         public java.math.BigDecimal getPrice() {...} ;
 *         public void setPrice(java.math.BigDecimal ) {...};
 *     }
 * {@code
 * 
 *     
 *     
 *       
 *       
 *       
 *     
 * }
 *
 *  Example 2: Map a JavaBean property to an XML attribute with anonymous type.
 * See Example 7 in @{@link XmlType}.
 *
 *  Example 3: Map a JavaBean collection property to an XML attribute.
 *  *     // Example: Code fragment
 *     class Foo {
 *         ...
 *         @XmlAttribute List<Integer> items;
 *     } 
 * {@code
 * 
 *     
 *     
 *     	 ...
 *       
 *         
 *           
 *         
 *
