39 * <p> |
|
40 * Compared to an element property (property with {@link XmlElement} |
|
41 * annotation), a reference property has a different substitution semantics. |
|
42 * When a sub-class is assigned to a property, an element property produces |
|
43 * the same tag name with @xsi:type, whereas a reference property produces |
|
44 * a different tag name (the tag name that's on the the sub-class.) |
|
45 * |
|
46 * <p> This annotation can be used with the following annotations: |
|
47 * {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}, {@link XmlElementWrapper}. |
