I think .equals method in EntityContext is inherited from Object class. IMHO
it does not provide any specialized services.

EntityContext is one per each Bean instance. If there are 10 bean instances
then there would be 10 EntityContext objects.

EJB spec only mandates behavior of EntityContext object not implementation.

Subject: EntityContext.equals

How do I understand EntityContext.equals?
How many EntityContexts exist in one container? Is EntityContext a
singlet in one container?
