Interface BeanStateSynchronization

public interface BeanStateSynchronization

There are cases where the container would need to interact with the persistence manager. Some known cases are listed below 1. provide the user with a mechanism to flush changes to the database at the end of a method with out waiting until the end of the transaction. 2. for read only beans provide a mechanism to have the master copy of the bean sync up with the database record. Currently the bean concrete implementation that is created as part of the codegen would implement this interface.
