An abstract direct collection accessor. Used to support DirectCollection, DirectMap, AggregateCollection through the ElementCollection, BasicCollection and BasicMap metadata. Key notes: - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be handled in the merge method. (merging is done at the accessor/mapping level) - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be initialized in the initXMLObject method. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.
