Thank you David for the refresher.  There were a
couple of subtleties that I hadn't been taking
advantage of.  However, I'm still a bit confused on
the answer to my question.  The link says that "The
idea of a view-entity is the same as the idea of a
view in Oracle".  Does this mean that the concept
works the same way but that only Ofbiz can take
advantage of the view-entity definition or does it
mean that it actually creates a view in the underlying
database that the database manages and therefore can
be used by other applications that use the database
directly?
