A minor clarification for step 1 - the entity context will not get created
as a result of an ejbCreate. The entity context gets created when the
container creates entity bean instances. When an entity bean instance is
associated with an EJBObject, the EntityContext would get hold of this
EJBObject and the primary key.
so the steps would be
1. create an EJBObject and associate the primary key with this EJBObject
2. At a later time when an entity bean instance is required by this
EJBObject, the container will get a free bean instance and associate the
bean instance and its entity context with the EJBObject
