/**
 * Specifies a secondary table for the annotated entity
 * class. Specifying one or more secondary tables indicates that the
 * data for the entity class is stored across multiple tables.
 *
 * <p> If no <code>SecondaryTable</code> annotation is specified,
 * it is assumed that all persistent fields or properties of the
 * entity are mapped to the primary table. If no primary key join
 * columns are specified, the join columns are assumed to reference
 * the primary key columns of the primary table, and have the same
 * names and types as the referenced primary key columns of the
 * primary table.
 *
 * <pre>
 *    Example 1: Single secondary table with a single primary key column.
 *
 *    &#064;Entity
 *    &#064;Table(name="CUSTOMER")
 *    &#064;SecondaryTable(name="CUST_DETAIL",
 *        pkJoinColumns=&#064;PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="CUST_ID"))
 *    public class Customer { ... }
 *
 *
 *    Example 2: Single secondary table with multiple primary key columns.
 *
 *    &#064;Entity
 *    &#064;Table(name="CUSTOMER")
 *    &#064;SecondaryTable(name="CUST_DETAIL",
 *        pkJoinColumns={
 *            &#064;PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="CUST_ID"),
 *            &#064;PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="CUST_TYPE")})
 *    public class Customer { ... }
