public interface RemoteRelationalReference

Interface for metadata required to persist associations, FOR REMOTE OBJECTS Associations among classes require certain metadata for persistence:

• containingEntity: provides foreign key information to containing entity bean
• classID: identifies a subclass in the database. Used to persist subclasses in a single collection or map

Belonging	get__containingBelonging() Get foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
javax.ejb.EJBObject	get__containingEntity() Get foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
java.lang.Object	get__mapKey() get map key
int	get__sequenceNumber() Get the sequencer number
void	set__containingBelonging(Belonging belonging) Provides foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
void	set__containingEntity(javax.ejb.EJBObject containingEntity) Provides foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
void	set__mapKey(java.lang.Object mapKey) Provides map key information
