  • When used with a unidirectional OneToMany foreign key mapping, the referenced column is in the table of the source entity.
  • When used inside a JoinTable annotation, the referenced key column is in the entity table of the owning entity, or inverse entity if the join is part of the inverse join definition.
  • When used in a CollectionTable mapping, the referenced column is in the table of the entity containing the collection.
