  - name
```
String name
```
    (Required) The name of the record type in the database.
- - compatibleType
```
String compatibleType
```
    (Required) The name of the database VARRAY type that mirrors the table's structure. The table will be converted to/from this type so it can be passed through JDBC.
- - nestedType
```
String nestedType
```
    (Required) The name of the database OBJECT TYPE or VARRAY type that mirrors the record's structure. The record will be converted to/from this type so it can be passed through JDBC.
    
    Default:
    
    "VARCHAR_TYPE"
- - javaType
```
Class<?> javaType
```
    (Optional) The Java Collection class to map the varray to. This can be any valid Collection implementation.
    
    Default:
    
    java.util.ArrayList.class
- - isNestedTable
```
boolean isNestedTable
```
    (Optional) Indicates a non-associative (nested) table. This method would typically be used when generating a constructor for the collection in PL/SQL (as the constructors for associative arrays (Varray) and a non-associative (nested) tables differ).
    
    Default:
    
    false
