/**
* Specifies that a persistent property or field should be persisted
* as a large object to a database-supported large object type.
* The Lob annotation may be used in conjunction
* with the {@link Basic} annotation. A Lob may be
* either a binary or character type.
*
* The Lob type is inferred from the type of the
* persistent field or property, and except for string and
* character-based types defaults to Blob.
*
*
* Example:
*
* @Lob @Basic(fetch=LAZY)
* @Column(name="REPORT")
* protected String report;
*
*
* @since Java Persistence 1.0
