28: * EntityBridge follows the Bridge pattern [Gamma et. al, 1995].
29: * In this implementation of the pattern the Abstract is the entity bean class,
30: * and the RefinedAbstraction is the entity bean dynamic proxy. This interface
31: * can be considered the implementor. Each imlementation of the CMPStoreManager
32: * should create a store specifiec implementaion of the bridge.
33: *
34: * Life-cycle:
35: * Undefined. Should be tied to CMPStoreManager.
36: *
37: * Multiplicity:
38: * One per cmp entity bean type.
