Interface LazyCGLIB

public interface LazyCGLIB extends Serializable

Lazy is a place holder interface to indicate that a data object or a Collection in a data object is an Lazy instance. In other words, instances of the objects are not retrieved from the persistence store at load time, but will be materialized when the instance is actually needed/accessed.

Implementations of this class need to provide a writeReplace() methor required during Java serialization.
