Annotation Type Field

@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Field

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

Note that this annotation is generally optional in the sense that any field or any getter method of a Java bean property of a class annotated by UDT will be mapped by default to a UDT field having the same name than this Java field / bean property unless that Java field or method has the Transient annotation. As such, this annotation is mainly useful when the UDT field name does not correspond to the Java field or property name itself.
