 * This class is the supertype of all entries that can be stored in a

 * Each field of an entry must be a public reference (object) type.
 * You cannot store primitive types in fields of an
 * <code>Entry</code>.  An <code>Entry</code> may have any number of
 * methods or constructors.  Each field is serialized separately, so
 * references between two fields of an entry will not be reconstituted
 * to be shared references, but instead to separate copies of the
 * original object.
