+/**
+ * A Supplier represents the combined key/data pair for a supplier entity.
+ *
+ * <p> In this sample, Supplier is created from the stored key/data entry
+ * using TupleSerialEntityBinding.  See {@link SampleViews.PartBinding} for
+ * details.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p> The binding is "tricky" in that it uses this class for both the stored
+ * data entry and the combined entity object.  To do this, the key field(s) are
+ * transient and are set by the binding after the data object has been
+ * deserialized. This avoids the use of a SupplierData class completely. </p>
+ *
+ * <p> Since this class is used directly for data storage, it must be
+ * Serializable. </p>
