Configuring Mapping Comments

You can define a free-form textual comment for each mapping. You can use these comments however you whish: for example, to record important project implementation details such as the purpose or importance of a mapping.

Comments are stored in the TopLink Workbench project, in the TopLink deployment XML file. There is no Java API for this feature.

Table 35-9 summarizes which mappings support this option.
