99<div class="block">Annotation used to indicate that associated property is part of
100 two-way linkage between fields; and that its role is "child" (or "back") link.
101 Value type of the property must be a bean: it can not be a Collection, Map,
102 Array or enumeration.
103 Linkage is handled such that the property
104 annotated with this annotation is not serialized; and during deserialization,
105 its value is set to instance that has the "managed" (forward) link.
106<p>
107 All references have logical name to allow handling multiple linkages; typical case
108 would be that where nodes have both parent/child and sibling linkages. If so,
109 pairs of references should be named differently.
110 It is an error for a class to have multiple back references with same name,
111 even if types pointed are different.
112<p>
113 Note: only methods and fields can be annotated with this annotation: constructor
114 arguments should NOT be annotated, as they can not be either managed or back
115 references.</div>
