Defines a class whose instances are stored as an intrinsic
part of an owning entity and share the identity of the entity.
Each of the persistent properties or fields of the embedded
object is mapped to the database table for the entity. Only
{@link Basic}, {@link Column}, {@link Lob},
{@link Temporal}, and {@link Enumerated} mapping
annotations may portably be used to map the persistent fields
or properties of classes annotated as {@link Embeddable}.
Note that the {@link Transient} annotation may be used to
designate the non-persistent state of an embeddable class. |
