*
* Terminology
*
* JavaBean property and field: For the purposes of
* mapping, there is no semantic difference between a field and
* a JavaBean property. Thus, an annotation that can be applied
* to a JavaBean property can always be applied to a
* field. Hence in the Javadoc documentation, for brevity, the
* term JavaBean property or property is used to mean either JavaBean
* property or a field. Where required, both are explicitly
* mentioned.
*
* top level class: For the purpose of mapping, there is
* no semantic difference between a top level class and a
* static nested class. Thus, an annotation that can be applied
* to a top level class, can always be applied to a nested
* static class. Hence in the Javadoc documentation, for
* brevity, the term "top level class" or just class is used to
* mean either a top level class or a nested static
* class.
*
* mapping annotation:A JAXB 2.0 defined program
* annotation based on the JSR 175 programming annotation
* facility.
*
Common Usage Constraints
* The following usage constraints are defined here since
* they apply to more than annotation:
*
* - For a property, a given annotation can be applied to
* either read or write property but not both.
* - A property name must be different from any other
* property name in any of the super classes of the
* class being mapped.
* - A mapped field name or the decapitalized name of a
* mapped property must be unique within a class.
*
* Notations
* Namespace prefixes
* The following namespace prefixes are used in the XML Schema
* fragments in this package.
