title: Add Java Annotation to inherited field
body: <p>I'm working on something that <em>might</em> benefit from a pattern like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public abstract class SomeBuisnessThingy()
  {
    protected int someDatapoint;
  }
  
  public class ADatabaseThingy() extends SomeBusinessThingy()
  {
    @SomeJPAAnnotation
    ???? someDatapoint;
  }
  
  public class AWebServiceThingy() extends SomeBusinessThingy()
  {
    @SomeSOAPStuff
    ???? someDatapoint;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It smells more like an interface than an abstract class, but the same thing needs to be done. I have a DB implementation of that class and a WS implementation of that class. </p>
  
  <p>Those representations are very similar, but may be different. For example the WS class may expose a field as a String so a 3rd party can easily do an integration, it can also be splot into its own package so we can hand a customer some lightweight WebService or POJO classes without all the baggage of the DB or a JPA framework coming with it. Perhaps it could be used to create the basic classes needed for something then switch between persistence frameworks that use different annotations.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to ADD annotations to inherited fields?</p>
