EJBObject	get__containingEntity() Get foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
Object	get__mapKey() get map key
Long	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(EJBObject containingEntity) Provides foreign key information about the bean that contains this object
void	set__mapKey(Object mapKey) Provides map key information
