/**
* A DeleteAll annotation is specified to indicate that when an relationship
* is deleted, it should use a delete all query. This typically happens if the
* relationship is PrivateOwned and its owner is deleted. In that case, the members
* of the relationship will be deleted without reading them in.
*
* Use this annotation with caution. EclipseLink will not validate for you whether the
* target entity is mapped in such a way as to allow the delete all to work.
