22: * All business objects are PLOJOs (plain old java objects) with public
23: * constructors without parameters and simple properties implemented using
24: * the java beans pattern (getter + setter).
25: * This is important insofar as Mandarax ZKB by default uses built-in serialization mechanisms
26: * to store objects (e.g., objects may occur in constant terms in certain rules). Java XML serialization
27: * works best for PLOJOs. For similar reasons, this class implements Serializable, although the storage
28: * mechanism used in this example does not use binary serialization.
