 *
 * Also unless it's a read-only mapping, either WriteTransformer annotation or

 * defines transformation of the attribute value to a single database column
 * value (column is specified in the WriteTransformer).

 * @see org.eclipse.persistence.annotations.WriteTransformers

 * Transformation can be specified within an Entity, MappedSuperclass
