/**
 * Used in the mapping of associations. It is specified on the
 * owning side of an association.
 *
 * <p> A join table is typically used in the mapping of many-to-many
 * and unidirectional one-to-many associations. It may also be used to
 * map bidirectional many-to-one/one-to-many associations,
 * unidirectional many-to-one relationships, and one-to-one
 * associations (both bidirectional and unidirectional).
 *
 *<p>When a join table is used in mapping a relationship with an
 *embeddable class on the owning side of the relationship, the
 *containing entity rather than the embeddable class is considered the
 *owner of the relationship.
 *
 * <p> If the <code>JoinTable</code> annotation is missing, the
 * default values of the annotation elements apply.
 * The name of the join table is assumed to be the table names of the
 * associated primary tables concatenated together (owning side
 * first) using an underscore.
 *
 * <pre>
 *
 *    Example:
 *
 *    &#064;JoinTable(
 *        name="CUST_PHONE",
 *        joinColumns=
 *            &#064;JoinColumn(name="CUST_ID", referencedColumnName="ID"),
 *        inverseJoinColumns=
 *            &#064;JoinColumn(name="PHONE_ID", referencedColumnName="ID")
 *    )
