/**
* Specifies a mapping to an entity that is a map key. The map key
* join column is in the collection table, join table, or table of the
* target entity that is used to represent the map. If no
* <code>MapKeyJoinColumn</code> annotation is specified, a single
* join column is assumed and the default values apply.
*
* <pre>
*
* Example 1:
*
* &#064;Entity
* public class Company {
* &#064;Id int id;
* ...
* &#064;OneToMany // unidirectional
* &#064;JoinTable(name="COMPANY_ORGANIZATION",
* joinColumns=&#064;JoinColumn(name="COMPANY"),
* inverseJoinColumns=&#064;JoinColumn(name="VICEPRESIDENT"))
* &#064;MapKeyJoinColumn(name="DIVISION")
* Map&#060;Division, VicePresident&#062; organization;
* }
*
* Example 2:
*
* &#064;Entity
* public class VideoStore {
* &#064;Id int id;
* String name;
* Address location;
* ...
* &#064;ElementCollection
* &#064;CollectionTable(name="INVENTORY",
* joinColumns=&#064;JoinColumn(name="STORE"))
* &#064;Column(name="COPIES_IN_STOCK")
* &#064;MapKeyJoinColumn(name="MOVIE", referencedColumnName="ID")
* Map&#060;Movie, Integer&#062; videoInventory;
* ...
* }
*
* &#064;Entity
* public class Movie {
* &#064;Id long id;
* String title;
* ...
* }
*
* Example 3:
*
* &#064;Entity
* public class Student {
* &#064;Id int studentId;
* ...
* &#064;ManyToMany // students and courses are also many-many
* &#064;JoinTable(name="ENROLLMENTS",
* joinColumns=&#064;JoinColumn(name="STUDENT"),
* inverseJoinColumns=&#064;JoinColumn(name="SEMESTER"))
* &#064;MapKeyJoinColumn(name="COURSE")
* Map&#060;Course, Semester&#062; enrollment;
* ...
* }
