SmartEntityReference Interface

public interface SmartEntityReference

A smart handle optimizes the the use of handles for entity beans by storing a local copy of the primary key (SmartKey) for the BSC Entity. This optimizes one of the most commonly performed operations of retrieving the key without accessing the remote object. This also makes it possible to compare the entities referenced by the smart handles.
