| into the database. This annotation allows developers to define a named |
| converter that can be used in their mappings. A converter can be defined on |
| an entity class, method, or field. |
| |
| A Converter must be be uniquely identified by name and can be defined at |
| the class, field and property level and can be specified within an Entity, |
| MappedSuperclass and Embeddable class. |
| |
| The usage of a Converter is always specified via the Convert annotation and |
