Using Transient Fields in an Entity Binding

<p>
The entity bindings from the prior example have been changed in
this example to use the entity object both as a value object and an
entity object.
</p>
<p>
Before, the <code class="methodname">entryToObject()</code> method combined the
deserialized value object with the key fields to create a new
entity object. Now, this method uses the deserialized object
directly as an entity, and initializes its key using the fields
read from the key tuple.
</p>
<p>
Before, the <code class="methodname">objectToData()</code> method constructed a new value
object using information in the entity. Now it simply returns the
entity. Nothing needs to be changed in the entity, since the
transient key fields won't be serialized.
