/**
* <p>
* Maps a JavaBean property to a map of wildcard attributes.
*
* <p> <b>Usage</b> </p>
* <p>
* The <tt>@XmlAnyAttribute</tt> annotation can be used with the
* following program elements:
* <ul>
* <li> JavaBean property </li>
* <li> non static, non transient field </li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
* additional common information.</p>
*
* The usage is subject to the following constraints:
* <ul>
* <li> At most one field or property in a class can be annotated
* with <tt>@XmlAnyAttribute</tt>. </li>
* <li> The type of the property or the field must <tt>java.util.Map</tt> </li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>
* While processing attributes to be unmarshalled into a value class,
* each attribute that is not statically associated with another
* JavaBean property, via {@link XmlAttribute}, is entered into the
* wildcard attribute map represented by
* {@link Map}<{@link QName},{@link Object}>. The attribute QName is the
* map's key. The key's value is the String value of the attribute.
