<h3>Terminology</h3>
<p>
<b>JavaBean property and field:</b> For the purposes of
mapping, there is no semantic difference between a field and
a JavaBean property. Thus, an annotation that can be applied
to a JavaBean property can always be applied to a
field. Hence in the Javadoc documentation, for brevity, the
term JavaBean property or property is used to mean either JavaBean
property or a field. Where required, both are explicitly
mentioned.
<p>
<b>top level class:</b> For the purpose of mapping, there is
no semantic difference between a top level class and a
static nested class. Thus, an annotation that can be applied
to a top level class, can always be applied to a nested
static class. Hence in the Javadoc documentation, for
brevity, the term "top level class" or just class is used to
mean either a top level class or a nested static
class.
<p>
<b>mapping annotation:</b>A JAXB 2.0 defined program
annotation based on the JSR 175 programming annotation
facility.
<h3>Common Usage Constraints</h3>
<p>The following usage constraints are defined here since
they apply to more than annotation:
<ul>
<li> For a property, a given annotation can be applied to
either read or write property but not both. </li>
<li> A property name must be different from any other
property name in any of the super classes of the
class being mapped. </li>
<li> A mapped field name or the decapitalized name of a
mapped property must be unique within a class. </li>
</ul>
<h3>Notations</h3>
<b>Namespace prefixes</b>
<p>The following namespace prefixes are used in the XML Schema
fragments in this package.<p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="3">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b>Prefix</b></td>
<td><b>Namespace</b></td>
<td><b>Notes</b></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>xs</td>
<td>Namespace of XML Schema namespace</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>ref</td>
<td>Namespace for swaref schema component</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>xsi</td>
<td>XML Schema namespace for instances</td>
</tr>
