/**
* <p><b>Purpose</b>: Allows customization of an object's inheritance.
* The primary supported inheritance model uses a class type indicator
* column in the table that stores the object's class type.
* The class-to-type mapping is specified on this policy.
* The full class name can also be used for the indicator instead of the mapping.
* <p>Each subclass can either share their parents table, or in addition add their
* own table(s).
* <p>For legacy models a customized inheritance class-extractor can be provided.
* This allows Java code to be used to compute the class type to use for a row.
* When this customized inheritance model is used an only-instances and with-all-subclasses
* filter expression may be required for concrete and branch querying.
