EJB3 mappedby?

What does 'mappedby' actually do. I have 2 entities Employee and Cubicle
with a bi directional OneToOne mapping. When I add or remove the mappedby
attribute it doesn't seem to have any effect? When I reverse engineer the
tables they still have the same relationship.

TIA

@Entity
public class Cubicle implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name="CUBICLE_ID")
    private Long id;

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    private Employee residentEmployee;

    @OneToOne(mappedBy = "assignedCubicle")
    public Employee getResidentEmployee() {
        return residentEmployee;
    }

    public void setResidentEmployee(Employee employee) {
        this.residentEmployee = employee;
    }
}

@Entity
public class Employee implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name="EMPLOYEE_ID")
    private Long id;

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public Cubicle assignedCubicle;

    @OneToOne
    public Cubicle getAssignedCubicle() {
        return assignedCubicle;
    }

    public void setAssignedCubicle(Cubicle cubicle) {
        this.assignedCubicle = cubicle;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}
