Reference Properties

A ReferenceProperty is an AccountingProperty that points to a different database table. ReferenceProperties are always named after the table they point to and belong to the table PropertyRegistry. In order for a ReferenceProperty to be persisted to the database there has to be a database field in the table that also references the remote table. This can be specified either by means of a SQL FOREIGN KEY or by setting the java reference.[table-name].[field-name]=[remote-table] property. Unlike most other AccountingProperties the name of the field is not significant.
