      Description copied from interface: `ObjectContext`
      Returns an object local to this ObjectContext and matching the ObjectId. If `prototype` is not null, local object is refreshed with the prototype values.

          public abstract void registerNewObject(Object object)

      Description copied from interface: `ObjectContext`
      Registers a transient object with the context. The difference with `ObjectContext.newObject(Class)` is that a user creates an object herself, before attaching it to the context, instead of relying on Cayenne to do that.
      Specified by:
        `registerNewObject` in interface `ObjectContext`
      Parameters:
        `object` - new object that needs to be made persistent.

      Description copied from interface: `ObjectContext`
      A callback method that child Persistent objects are expected to call before accessing property values. This callback allows ObjectContext to "inflate" unresolved objects on demand and also resolve properties that rely on lazy faulting.
      Specified by:
        `prepareForAccess` in interface `ObjectContext`

    - #### propertyChanged

          public void propertyChanged(Persistent object,
