org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.metadata.accessors.PropertyMetadata

public class PropertyMetadata
extends ORMetadata

INTERNAL: PropertyMetadata. Each mapping may be assigned user-defined properties. Key notes: - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be initialized in the initXMLObject method. - when loading from annotations, the constructor accepts the metadata accessor this metadata was loaded from. Used it to look up any 'companion' annotation needed for processing. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.
