| /** |
| * A PrivateOwned annotation is used to specify a relationship is privately |
| * owned. A privately owned relationship means the target object is a dependent |
| * part of the source object and is not referenced by any other object and |
| * cannot exist on its own. Private ownership causes many operations to be |
| * cascaded across the relationship, including, deletion, insertion, refreshing, |
| * locking (when cascaded). It also ensures that private objects removed from |
| * collections are deleted and object added are inserted. |
| * |
| * A PrivateOwned annotation can be used in conjunction with a OneToOne, |
| * OneToMany and VariableOneToOne annotation. Private ownership is implied |
| * with the BasicCollection and BasicMap annotation. |
