TITLE: Object Recovery Pattern

ABSTRACT:
The Object Recovery pattern defines a generic object recovery
algorithm. It decouples the recovery part from the object's
functional part. Different policies can be supported:
update-in-place, deferred-update, copy and compensating. The Object
Recovery pattern isolates recovery from persistence and object
synchronization issues allowing the recovery of transient objects to
a previously defined state. Moreover, the recovery pattern can be
used to implement user undo/redo models of interaction.
