/**
 * <p>
 * <b>INTERNAL:</b> XRDynamicEntity is used for models where Java classes do not
 * exist.
 * <p>
 * EclipseLink is based around mapping attributes of a Java class to a table (or
 * tables) with the attributes representing either the column data or
 * foreign-key contraints as relationships to other (mapped) classes. For
 * applications that are based around meta-data and the Java class is either not
 * needed or not available, this basic entity can be used. Subclasses of this
 * abstract class can be dynamically generated at runtime.
