@Entity
public class MapConnectorPoint
extends PropertyOwner
implements IMapAttributeOwner, IModelObject, IMapReferenceOwner

A class representing a connector point of a component in the component owner graph. A connector point is a point on the component where connections can be made to other components. An output connection point can contain a set of attributes, which represent column-level information in the data flow.
