Indicates the source of timestamps for an entity version property of type Timestamp:
- SourceType.VM indicates that the virtual machine current instance is used, and
- SourceType.DB indicates that the database current_timestamp function should be used.
For example, the following timestamp is generated by the database:
```
 @Version @Source(DB)
 private LocalDateTime version;
 
```
This annotation is always used in conjunction with the JPA @Version annotation.
