public class EntryPacket extends AbstractEntryPacket implements IMVCCEntryPacket
This class represents a packet of information transmitted between a J-Space client and its J-Space server (and vice versa).

The information transmitted is composed of 2 types: information on the entry's class, and information on the entry's data (the fields' values). Since the protocol between J-Space client and server are designed for minimum data passing, most of the fields in an EntryPacket are usually null (they are transmitted once for each entry class in a client's life-time).

All the fields in this class are public, in order to increase access and modification speed (no need to call a method).
