public class ElementInsertionMap
extends MapBase
Describes a wrapper element that needs to be inserted; not for general use.

ElementInsertionMap contains information about an element that is to be inserted between a class table element and an element, attribute, or PCDATA for a column, related class table, or property table. When retrieving data from the database, it is used to reconstruct elements that were eliminated with WrapperClassMap.

Note that an ElementInsertionMap is closer to being the opposite of a WrapperClassMap than it is to providing parallel functionality in the database-centric view of a map. That is, it reconstructs elements, rather than treating child tables as "wrapper" tables.

ElementInsertionMaps are stored in ElementInsertionLists.
