Annotation

Specifies multiple secondary tables for an entity.
Example 1:
 Multiple secondary tables assuming primary key columns are named the same in all tables.

    @Entity
    @Table(name="EMPLOYEE")
    @SecondaryTables({
        @SecondaryTable(name="EMP_DETAIL"),
        @SecondaryTable(name="EMP_HIST")
    })
    public class Employee { ... }
Example 2:
 Multiple secondary tables with differently named primary key columns.

    @Entity
    @Table(name="EMPLOYEE")
    @SecondaryTables({
        @SecondaryTable(name="EMP_DETAIL",
            pkJoinColumns=@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="EMPL_ID")),
        @SecondaryTable(name="EMP_HIST",
            pkJoinColumns=@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="EMPLOYEE_ID"))
    })
