Class de.tudarmstadt.ito.xmldbms.PropertyMap 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----de.tudarmstadt.ito.xmldbms.PropertyMap
public class PropertyMap
extends Object
Maps an element type, attribute, or PCDATA as a property; not for general use.

PropertyMap contains information about an element type-as-property, attribute, or PCDATA: how it is mapped, what table/column it is mapped to, etc. Note that the name of the mapped element type or attribute is not actually stored in the class; PropertyMaps are stored in hash tables in ClassMaps that are keyed by element type or attribute name.
