90<div class="block">Annotation used to indicate that annotated property is part of
91 two-way linkage between fields; and that its role is "parent" (or "forward") link.
92 Value type (class) of property must have a single compatible property annotated with
93 <a href="../../../../org/codehaus/jackson/annotate/JsonBackReference.html" title="annotation in org.codehaus.jackson.annotate"><code>JsonBackReference</code></a>. Linkage is handled such that the property
94 annotated with this annotation is handled normally (serialized normally, no
95 special handling for deserialization); it is the matching back reference
96 that requires special handling
97<p>
98 All references have logical name to allow handling multiple linkages; typical case
99 would be that where nodes have both parent/child and sibling linkages. If so,
100 pairs of references should be named differently.
101 It is an error for a class too have multiple managed references with same name,
102 even if types pointed are different.
103<p>
104 Note: only methods and fields can be annotated with this annotation: constructor
105 arguments should NOT be annotated, as they can not be either managed or back
106 references.</div>
