/**
 * This annotation defines a primary key generator that may be 
 * referenced by name when a generator element is specified for 
 * the {@link GeneratedValue} annotation. A table generator 
 * may be specified on the entity class or on the primary key 
 * field or property. The scope of the generator name is global 
 * to the persistence unit (across all generator types).
 *
 * 
 *    Example 1:
 *    
 *    @Entity public class Employee {
 *        ...
 *        @TableGenerator(
 *            name="empGen",

 *            pkColumnValue="EMP_ID", 
 *            allocationSize=1)
 *        @Id
 *        @GeneratedValue(strategy=TABLE, generator="empGen")
 *        public int id;
 *        ...
 *    }
 *    
 *    Example 2:
 *    
 *    @Entity public class Address {
 *        ...
 *        @TableGenerator(
