Annotation Type JMapField

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
 @Documented
public @interface JMapField

Java annotation for the getter methods of Java bean properties reflecting JSimpleDB Map fields.

The annotated method's return type must be either Map<K, V>, SortedMap<K, V>, or NavigableMap<K, V>, where K and V are supported simple types.

Note that both primitive types and their corresponding wrapper types are supported as keys and/or values. A map whose keys/values have primitive type will throw an exception on an attempt to add a null key/value. To specify a primitive key or value type, specify the type name (e.g., "int") as the JField.type() in the key() or the value().
