Detailed Description

ERXEntity provides a basic subclass of EOEntity providing a simple fix for vertical inheritance.

Note: If you plan on subclassing EOEntity or ERXEntity you MUST put your subclass in the same package if you want it to work. There are numerous default and protected instance methods within EOEntity itself that will fail to resolve at runtime if your subclass is in another package!

ldeck radar bug#6302622.

Relating two sub-entities in vertical inheritance can fail to resolve the foreign key for inserts. i.e., NeededByEOF<index> was not dealt with. The simple fix is to return the primary key attribute at the given index.
