/**
 * <p><b>Purpose</b>: The event manager allows for a descriptor to specify that 
 * an object should be notified when a TopLink event occurs.  It also determines 
 * how the object will be notified. To specify an event a method name can be 
 * registered to be called on the object when the event occurs. Events can be 
 * used to extend the TopLink reading and writing behavior.
 * <p>
 * These events include:
 * <ul>
 * <li> pre/postWrite - occurs when an object is written (occurs even if no changes to the object).
 * <li> pre/postInsert - occurs when an object is inserted.
 * <li> pre/postUpdate - occurs when an object is updated (occurs even if no changes to the object).
 * <li> pre/postDeleted - occurs when an object is deleted.
 * <li> postBuild/postRefresh - occurs after a object has been built/refreshed from its database row.
 * <li> aboutTo/Insert/Update - occurs when an object is about to be inserted/update allows for row modification.
 * <li> postClone - occurs when an object is registered/cloned in a unit of work.
 * <li> postMerge - occurs when an object is merged with its original in a unit of work.
 * </ul>
