@Repeatable(value=AttributeOverrides.class) @Target(value={TYPE,METHOD,FIELD}) @Retention(value=RUNTIME) public @interface AttributeOverride
Basic (whether
 explicit or default) property or field or Id property or
 field.
 May be applied to an entity that extends a mapped superclass or to an embedded field or property to override a basic mapping or id mapping defined by the mapped superclass or embeddable class (or embeddable class of one of its attributes).
 May be applied to an element collection containing instances of
 an embeddable class or to a map collection whose key and/or value
 is an embeddable class. When AttributeOverride is
 applied to a map, "key." or "value." must
 be used to prefix the name of the attribute that is being
 overridden in order to specify it as part of the map key or map
 value.
 
 To override mappings at multiple levels of embedding, a dot (".")
 notation form must be used in the name element to indicate an
 attribute within an embedded attribute.  The value of each identifier
 used with the dot notation is the name of the respective embedded
 field or property.
 
 If AttributeOverride is not specified, the column
 is mapped the same as in the original mapping.
 
    Example 1:
    @MappedSuperclass
    public class Employee {
        @Id protected Integer id;
        @Version protected Integer version;
        protected String address;
        public Integer getId() { ... }
        public void setId(Integer id) { ... }
        public String getAddress() { ... }
        public void setAddress(String address) { ... }
    }
    @Entity
    @AttributeOverride(name="address", column=@Column(name="ADDR"))
    public class PartTimeEmployee extends Employee {
        // address field mapping overridden to ADDR
        protected Float wage();
        public Float getHourlyWage() { ... }
        public void setHourlyWage(Float wage) { ... }
    }
 
    Example 2:
    @Embeddable public class Address {
        protected String street;
        protected String city;
        protected String state;
        @Embedded protected Zipcode zipcode;
    }
    @Embeddable public class Zipcode {
        protected String zip;
        protected String plusFour;
    }
    @Entity public class Customer {
        @Id protected Integer id;
        protected String name;
        @AttributeOverrides({
            @AttributeOverride(name="state",
                               column=@Column(name="ADDR_STATE")),
            @AttributeOverride(name="zipcode.zip",
                               column=@Column(name="ADDR_ZIP"))
        })
        @Embedded protected Address address;
        ...
    }
    Example 3:
    @Entity public class PropertyRecord {
        @EmbeddedId PropertyOwner owner;
        @AttributeOverrides({
            @AttributeOverride(name="key.street", 
                               column=@Column(name="STREET_NAME")),
            @AttributeOverride(name="value.size", 
                               column=@Column(name="SQUARE_FEET")),
            @AttributeOverride(name="value.tax", 
                               column=@Column(name="ASSESSMENT"))
        })
       @ElementCollection
       Map<Address, PropertyInfo> parcels;
    }
    @Embeddable public class PropertyInfo {
        Integer parcelNumber;
        Integer size;
        BigDecimal tax;
    }
