Annotation Type Field

@Target(value=FIELD)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Field

Annotation that allows to specify the name of the CQL UDT field to which the Java field should be mapped.

Note that this annotation is generally optional in the sense that any field of a class annotated by UDT will be mapped by default to a UDT field having the same name than this Java field unless that Java field has the Transient annotation. As such, this annotation is mainly useful when the name to map the field to is not the same one that the field itself (but can be added without it's name parameter for documentation sake).
