| * <p><b>XmlJoinNode</b> is used in conjunction with {@code XmlKey} to specify a reference mapping. This is similar |
| * to XmlID and XmlIDREF but allows for keys that are of types other than ID. When used with {@code XmlJoinNodes} can |
| * be used to allow composite keys. The referencedXmlPath must match the xpath of a field on the target class that has |
| * been annotated with either XmlID or XmlKey. |
| * |
| * <p><b>Example:</b> |
| * <pre> |
| * @XmlRootElement |
| * @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) |
| * public class Employee { |
| * |
| * @XmlKey |
| * public String id; |
| * |

| * public Employee manager; |
| * } |
