The closeTime

Each Auction domain object contains the following

relationships with the other domain objects:
The item: Represents the item for sale in the auction
The seller: Represents the AuctionUser object who is selling
the item
The bids: Represents the collection of bids placed on the
auction

Business Component Development Using EJB Technologies

Examining the Implementation Model (Contd.)

The EJB container uses a persistence provider to manage

entity instances.
The persistence provider is responsible for synchronizing
the data held in entity instances it manages with data in the
EIS tier.
