public @interface Mutability

Used to specify a MutabilityPlan for a basic value mapping.

• When applied to a Map-valued attribute, describes the Map value. Use MapKeyMutability to describe the key instead.
• When applied to a List of array-valued attribute, describes the element.
• When mapping an id-bag, describes the collection element. Use CollectionIdMutability to describe the CollectionId.
• For other collection mappings, describes the elements.
• For discriminated association mappings (Any and ManyToAny), describes the discriminator value.

Resolved as a ManagedBean. See for a high-level discussion of basic value mapping.
