* Common interface to those mappings that are used to map JPA Embedded objects. | |
* - ElementCollection -> AggregateCollectionMapping | |
* - Embedded -> AggregateObjectMapping | |
* | |
* This interface was build to ease the metadata processing, namely to avoid | |
* costly casting between the mappings above since their common parent is | |
* DatabaseMapping. | |
