<h3 align=center>Serializable Entity - Using transient fields in an entity class</h3>
<p>The entity classes in this example are redefined such that they can be
used both as serializable value classes and as entity classes.  Compared to the
prior example there are three changes to the <b>Part</b>, <b>Supplier</b>
and <b>Shipment</b> entity classes:</p>
<p><ul type=disc>
<li>Each class now implements the <b>Serializable</b> interface.
<li>The key fields in each class are declared as <b>transient</b>.
<li>A package-private <b>setKey</b> method is added to each class
for initializing the transient key fields.  This method will be called from
the entity bindings.
</ul>
