@Remove
public interface PropertyMapping

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
This interface is obsolete

Contract for all things that know how to map a property to the needed bits of SQL.
The column/formula fragments that represent a property in the table defining the property be obtained by calling toColumns(String).
Note, the methods here are generally ascribed to accept "property paths". That is a historical necessity because of how Hibernate originally understood composites (embeddables) internally. That is in the process of changing as Hibernate has added CompositeElementPropertyMapping
