There is a bean called OneToMany that does this at
http://www.simscomputing.com/products/etk/
It stores the entity's PK along with its JNDI home name. To later retrieve a
remote reference out of the 1-many relationship, it does a findByPrimaryKey()
against the JNDI home name.

This is sort of what OneToMany does. However, not all the JNDI home names need
be the same. You can put different types of entites in the 1-many relationship,
each having a different JNDI name if you want.
hope that helps,
