This enhancement is to allow a class that contains both attributes that use PROPERTIES/FIELDS that are physically defined on the class along with attributes that are defined using dynamic JPA.

e.g.

public class Customer extends DynamicEntityImpl {
    
    private int id;
    private String name;

    public static DynamicPropertiesManager DPM = new DynamicPropertiesManager();
    
    public Customer(){
        super();
    }
    
    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    
    public DynamicPropertiesManager fetchPropertiesManager(){
        return DPM;
    }
}

Notice that <basic name="company" attribute-type="String" access="VIRTUAL"> defines a virtual field and that Customer subclasses
DynamicEntityImpl
