## Annotation Type Embedded

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

Specifies a persistent field or property of an entity whose value is an instance of an embeddable class. The embeddable class must be annotated as `Embeddable`.

The `AttributeOverride`, `AttributeOverrides`, `AssociationOverride`, and `AssociationOverrides` annotations may be used to override mappings declared or defaulted by the embeddable class.

       Example:

       @Embedded
       @AttributeOverrides({
           @AttributeOverride(name="startDate", column=@Column("EMP_START")),
           @AttributeOverride(name="endDate", column=@Column("EMP_END"))
       })
       public EmploymentPeriod getEmploymentPeriod() { ... }
