27  /**
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.
