AssociationAttribute Class
Specifies a many-to-one association between the marked field or property and another entity class.
Remarks
Use Association on fields or properties whose type is another entity class.
Always combine it with a JoinColumn attribute that defines the foreign key column.
The Properties set controls lazy loading and whether the association is required.
The Cascade set defines which persistence operations are automatically propagated to the associated object. For associations, CascadeTypeAllButRemove is the most commonly recommended cascade.
