/**
* Specifies a mapping to an entity that is a map key. The map key
* join column is in the collection table, join table, or table of the
* target entity that is used to represent the map. If no
* MapKeyJoinColumn annotation is specified, a single
* join column is assumed and the default values apply.
*
*
*
* Example 1:
*
* @Entity
* public class Company {
* @Id int id;
* ...
* @OneToMany // unidirectional
* @JoinTable(name="COMPANY_ORGANIZATION",
* joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="COMPANY"),
* inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="VICEPRESIDENT"))
* @MapKeyJoinColumn(name="DIVISION")
* Map<Division, VicePresident> organization;
* }
*
* Example 2:
*
* @Entity
* public class VideoStore {
* @Id int id;
* String name;
* Address location;
* ...
* @ElementCollection
* @CollectionTable(name="INVENTORY",
* joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="STORE"))
* @Column(name="COPIES_IN_STOCK")
* @MapKeyJoinColumn(name="MOVIE", referencedColumnName="ID")
* Map<Movie, Integer> videoInventory;
* ...
* }
*
* @Entity
* public class Movie {
* @Id long id;
* String title;
* ...
* }
*
* Example 3:
*
* @Entity
* public class Student {
* @Id int studentId;
* ...
* @ManyToMany // students and courses are also many-many
* @JoinTable(name="ENROLLMENTS",
* joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="STUDENT"),
* inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="SEMESTER"))
* @MapKeyJoinColumn(name="COURSE")
* Map<Course, Semester> enrollment;
* ...
* }
