Description Petya Sabeva CLA 2012-09-11 10:54:03 EDT 
I am speaking entirely for the JPA 1.0 specification.
It is a common practice for an entity class, to be passed as an argument to a remote business interface method. In this case, since some RMI-alike invocation is going to happen at runtime, the semantics is pass by value, and the entity class is required to implement the java.io.Serializable interface. Currently, the JPA Diagram Editor creates only entities that do not implement this interface.

Hint: there should be created the corresponding static final field serialVersionUID as well.
