	The diagram above presents an overview of the 
	PersistenceManager interface.  For a complete 
	treatment of the PersistenceManager API, see the 
	
	Javadoc documentation.  Methods whose parameter signatures consist 
	of an ellipsis (...) are overloaded to take multiple parameter types.

	The PersistenceManager is the primary interface
	to the JDO runtime.
	Each PersistenceManager manages a cache of
	persistent and transactional objects, and has an association with
	a single Transaction.
	
	We divide the methods of the PersistenceManager 
	into the following functional categories:
	
User object association.
Configuration properties.
Transaction association.
FetchPlan association.
Persistence-capable lifecycle management.
Detach and attach functionality.
JDO identity management.
Cache management.
			Extent, Query,
			and Sequence factory.
			
Connection access.
Closing.
public Object getUserObject (); public void setUserObject (Object obj); public Object putUserObject (Object key, Object obj); public Object getUserObject (Object key); public Object removeUserObject (Object key);
		The PersistenceManager's user objects
		allow you to associate arbitrary objects with each 
		PersistenceManager.  The given objects are not 
		used in any way by the JDO implementation.
		
		The getUserObject and setUserObject
		 methods associate a primary user object with the
		PersistenceManager.  The 
		putUserObject, getUserObject, and
		removeUserObject methods, on the other hand,
		delegate to an internal map of secondary user objects.  As in the
		java.util.Map APIs, the put
		 and remove operations return
		the object formerly stored under the given key.
