/**
* Used to indicate an entity bean that has 'draftable' support.
*
* This means that a second set of tables is created to hold draft versions of
* the rows and that these can then be published which effectively copies/transfers
* the values from the 'draft' table to the 'live' table.
*
*
* Ebean Query supports 'find as draft' which builds the resulting object graph using
* the draft tables. This object graph is typically edited, approved in some application
* specific manor and then published.
*
*
* EbeanServer has a publish method which transfers/copies the draft object graph to
* the 'live' tables.
