Use a one-to-one mapping to represent simple pointer references between two Java objects. In Java, a single pointer stored in an attribute represents the mapping between the source and target objects. Relational database tables implement these mappings using foreign keys.
You define a one-to-one mapping at one of the property (getter or setter method) or field level of your entity.
For more information, see "Understanding One-to-One Mapping" in the Oracle TopLink Developer's Guide.

Example 7-16 shows how to use the @OneToOne annotation to specify a one-to-one mapping for field address.
