/**
 * Specifies the table that is used for the mapping of
 * collections of basic or embeddable types.  Applied
 * to the collection-valued field or property.
 *
 * <p>By default, the columns of the collection table that correspond
 * to the embeddable class or basic type are derived from the
 * attributes of the embeddable class or from the basic type according
 * to the default values of the <code>Column</code> annotation. In the case
 * of a basic type, the column name is derived from the name of the
 * collection-valued field or property. In the case of an embeddable
 * class, the column names are derived from the field or property
 * names of the embeddable class.
 * <ul>
 * <li> To override the default properties of the column used for a
 * basic type, the <code>Column</code> annotation is used on the
 * collection-valued attribute in addition to the
 * <code>ElementCollection</code> annotation.
 *
 * <li> To override these defaults for an embeddable class, the
 * <code>AttributeOverride</code> and/or
 * <code>AttributeOverrides</code> annotations can be used in
 * addition to the <code>ElementCollection</code> annotation. If the
 * embeddable class contains references to other entities, the default
 * values for the columns corresponding to those references may be
 * overridden by means of the <code>AssociationOverride</code> and/or
 * <code>AssociationOverrides</code> annotations.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> If the <code>CollectionTable</code> annotation is missing, the
 * default values of the <code>CollectionTable</code> annotation
 * elements apply.
 *

 *
 *    &#064;Embeddable public class Address {
 *       protected String street;
 *       protected String city;
 *       protected String state;
 *       ...

 *       &#064;Id protected String ssn;
 *       protected String name;
 *       protected Address home;
 *       ...
 *       &#064;ElementCollection  // use default table (PERSON_NICKNAMES)
 *       &#064;Column(name="name", length=50)
 *       protected Set&#060;String&#062; nickNames = new HashSet();
 *       ...
 *    }
 *
 *    &#064;Entity public class WealthyPerson extends Person {
 *       &#064;ElementCollection
 *       &#064;CollectionTable(name="HOMES") // use default join column name
 *       &#064;AttributeOverrides({
 *          &#064;AttributeOverride(name="street",
 *                             column=&#064;Column(name="HOME_STREET")),
 *          &#064;AttributeOverride(name="city",
 *                             column=&#064;Column(name="HOME_CITY")),
 *          &#064;AttributeOverride(name="state",
 *                             column=&#064;Column(name="HOME_STATE"))
 *        })
