public interface RelationshipReference
extends JpaContextNode

A RelationshipReference represents the meta-information required to populate the entities involved in a RelationshipMapping. This might includes join table information, join column information, and/or "mappedBy" information, to name a few.

Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
