All Implemented Interfaces:

MappedKeyMapAccessor
```
public class ElementCollectionAccessor
extends DirectCollectionAccessor
implements MappedKeyMapAccessor
```
An element collection accessor. Used to support DirectCollection, DirectMap, AggregateCollection. 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 handled in the merge method. (merging is done at the accessor/mapping level) - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be initialized in the initXMLObject method. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.

Since:

EclipseLink 1.2
