/**
* The implementations of Items, and their core functionality.
*
* The CORBA IDLs generate the Item and Agent interfaces and their support
* classes in this package. In the kernel source tree, the classes
* {@link org.cristalise.kernel.entity.TraceableEntity} and
* {@link org.cristalise.kernel.entity.ItemImplementation} provides the
* implementing object for the Item on the server side, while the Locator class,
* plus the {@link org.cristalise.kernel.entity.CorbaServer}
* handle instantiation and caching of Items (and Agents) on the server.
*
*
The corresponding implementation for Agents is located in the agent
* sub-package.
*
*
Also in this package is the {@link org.cristalise.kernel.entity.C2KLocalObject}
* interface, which is implemented by all objects that may be stored in the CRISTAL
* persistency mechanism.
