Interface	Description
*ContainerMapping*	Interface used by clients to interact with the assorted mappings that use `ContainerPolicy`.

Class Summary
Class Description

AggregateCollectionMapping Purpose: The aggregate collection mapping is used to represent the aggregate relationship between a single source object and a collection of target objects.

AggregateMapping Purpose: Two objects can be considered to be related by aggregation if there is a strict 1:1 relationship between the objects.

AggregateObjectMapping Purpose:Two objects can be considered to be related by aggregation if there is a strict 1:1 relationship between the objects.

Association Purpose: Generic association object.

CollectionMapping Purpose: Abstract class for relationship mappings which store collection of objects

DatabaseMapping Purpose: Defines how an attribute of an object maps to and from the database

DirectCollectionMapping Purpose: This mapping is used to store objects into a collection that are non TopLink enabled.

DirectMapMapping Mapping of classes that implements Map interface

DirectToFieldMapping Purpose: Maps an attribute to the corresponding database field type.

ForeignReferenceMapping Purpose: Abstract class for relationship mappings

ManyToManyMapping Purpose: Many to many mappings ae used to represent the relationships between a collection of source objects and a collection of target objects.

ObjectReferenceMapping Purpose: Abstract class for 1:1, varibale 1:1 and reference mappings

ObjectTypeMapping Purpose: Object type mappings are used to match a fixed number of database primitives to Java objects.

OneToManyMapping Purpose: This mapping is used to represent the typical RDBMS relationship between a single source object and collection of target objects; where, on the database, the target objects have references (foreign keys) to the source object.

OneToOneMapping Purpose: One to one mappings are used to represent a pointer references between two java objects.

SerializedObjectMapping Purpose: The serialized object mapping can be used to store an arbitrary object or set of objects into a database blob field.

TransformationMapping Purpose: A transformation mapping is used for a specialized translation between how a value is represented in Java and its representation on the databae.

TypeConversionMapping Purpose: Type conversion mappings are used to expllicitly map a database type to a java type.

TypedAssociation Purpose: Generic association object.

VariableOneToOneMapping Purpose: Variable one to one mappings are used to represent a pointer references between a java object and an implementer of an interface.
