Major Overactive Logistics Refactoring.

During the analysis for the shipments module I found that the domain model requires changes that can't be implemented in a clean way without the extensive use of object inheritance and object reusability based on interface implementation. The EJB 2.1 specification states that inheritance is not supported in entity beans. Due the complexity of the current requirements plus the need for greater flexibility during object modeling I have decided to port the domain model to POJOs using Hibernate and port the Session Beans to normal Facade classes.

This will extend my current scope for the release of the first beta version of Overactive Logistics, however it will reduce dramatically the complexity of the system architecture resulting in shorter development cycles as a reward.
