*
* <p>
* To preserve referential integrity of an object graph across XML
* serialization followed by a XML deserialization, requires an object
* reference to be marshaled by reference or containment
! * appropriately. Annotations <tt>@XmlID</tt> and <tt>@XmlIDREF</tt>
* together allow a customized mapping of a JavaBean property's
* type by containment or reference.
*
* <p><b>Usage</b> </p>
! * The <tt>@XmlIDREF</tt> annotation can be used with the following
* program elements:
* <ul>
* <li> a JavaBean property </li>
* <li> non static, non transient field </li>
* </ul>

* To preserve referential integrity of an object graph across XML

*
* <p><b>Usage</b> </p>

* <ul>
* <li> a JavaBean property </li>
* <li> non static, non transient field </li>
* </ul>
*** 56,80 ****
* <p> The usage is subject to the following constraints:
* <ul>
*
* <li> If the type of the field or property is a collection type,
* then the collection item type must contain a property or
! * field annotated with <tt>@XmlID</tt>. </li>
* <li> If the field or property is single valued, then the type of
* the property or field must contain a property or field
! * annotated with <tt>@XmlID</tt>.
* <p>Note: If the collection item type or the type of the
* property (for non collection type) is java.lang.Object, then
* the instance must contain a property/field annotated with
! * <tt>@XmlID</tt> attribute.
* </li>
* <li> This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
* {@link XmlElement}, {@link XmlAttribute}, {@link XmlList},
* and {@link XmlElements}.</li>
*
* </ul>
! * <p><b>Example:</b> Map a JavaBean property to <tt>xs:IDREF</tt>
* (i.e. by reference rather than by containment)</p>
* <pre>

* //EXAMPLE: Code fragment
