/**
* The NonCacheable annotation is used to configure caching behavior for
* relationships. If this annotation is set on a relationship that relationship
* will not be cached even though the parent Entity may be cached. Each time the
* Entity is retrieved the relationship will be reloaded from the data-source.
*
* This may be useful for situations where caching of relationships is not
* desired or when using different EclipseLink IdentityMap types and having
* cached references extends the cache lifetime of related Entities using a
* different caching scheme.
* For instance Entity A references Entity B, Entity A is FullIdentityMap and
* Entity B is WeakIdentityMap. Without removing the caching of the relationship
* the Entity B's cache effectively become a FullIdentityMap.
