/**
 * <p>Composite collection XML mappings map an attribute that contains a homogeneous collection of objects
 * to multiple XML elements.  Use composite collection XML mappings to represent one-to-many relationships.
 * Composite collection XML mappings can reference any class that has a TopLink descriptor. The attribute in
 * the object mapped must implement either the Java Collection interface (for example, Vector or HashSet)
 * or Map interface (for example, Hashtable or TreeMap). The CompositeCollectionMapping class
 * allows a reference to the mapped class and the indexing type for that class.  This mapping is, by
 * definition, privately owned.
 *
 * <p><b>Setting the XPath</b>: TopLink XML mappings make use of XPath statements to find the relevant
 * data in an XML document.  The XPath statement is relative to the context node specified in the descriptor.
 * The XPath may contain path and positional information;  the last node in the XPath forms the local
 * root node for the composite object.  The XPath is specified on the mapping using the <code>setXPath</code>
 * method.
 *
 * <p>The following XPath statements may be used to specify the location of XML data relating to an object's
 * name attribute:
 *
 * <table border="1">
 * <caption>XPath statements</caption>
 * <tr>
 * <th id="c1">XPath</th>
 * <th id="c2">Description</th>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td headers="c1">phone-number</td>
 * <td headers="c2">The phone number information is stored in the phone-number element.</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td headers="c1" style="nowrap">contact-info/phone-number</td>
 * <td headers="c2">The XPath statement may be used to specify any valid path.</td>
 * </tr>
 * <tr>
 * <td headers="c1">phone-number[2]</td>
 * <td headers="c2">The XPath statement may contain positional information.  In this case the phone
 * number information is stored in the second occurrence of the phone-number element.</td>
 * </tr>
 * </table>
