entitybmp

Creates "entity bean classes" for BMP entity EJBs. The classes are derived from the abstract entity bean class.

Attention: To give the developer more control over when the EJB becomes dirty (data changed) there is now a method called "makeDirty()" in the generated wrapper class. To use this please add to your EJB an abstract method called "makeDirty" and call it when you change data w/o using the setter methods. As example you could store the Data Object instead of storing all the attributes one by one (be aware that you have to clone the data object before storing to avoid side effects).
