Hibernate - using @JoinColumn without declaring a relationship

Is it possible to use @JoinColumn in hibernate without declaring a relationship? I need to know if I can map an Object without declaring a relationship. (I know it defeats the purpose of having an ORM but I'm curious if it's possible) Example:

@Entity
@Table(name="PERSON")
public Class Person {

   @Id
   private int id;

   @JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
   private Address address  //address is also an entity
}

@JoinColumn annotation specifies a column for joining an entity association or element collection, it doesn't specify association type. Therefore, you should use it together with @ManyToOne and other related annotations.
