Annotation Interface Struct

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Struct
Struct types are extended object-relational data-types supported by some databases. Struct types are user define types in the database such as OBJECT types on Oracle. Structs can normally contain Arrays (VARRAY) or other Struct types, and can be stored in a column or a table.

This annotation define a class to map to a database Struct type. The class should normally be an Embeddable, but could also be an Entity if stored in an object table.
