Annotation Type PrivateOwned

@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface PrivateOwned

Specify that the elements of a OneToMany are private owned.

This means that if they are removed from the List/Set/Map they will be deleted when their parent object is saved.

This could also be described as deleting orphans - in that beans removed from the List/Set/Map will be deleted automatically when the parent bean is saved. They are considered 'orphans' when they have been removed from the collection in that they are no longer associated/linked to their parent bean.
