If the join is for a map key for a ManyToMany entity relationship or for a OneToMany entity relationship using a join table, the foreign key column is in a join table. If the join is for a OneToMany entity relationship using a foreign key mapping strategy, the foreign key column for the map key is in the table of the entity that is the value of the map.

Default:

""
