								  <p>If you are using the <em>Standard Manager Implementation</em>
							 |

								  <p>If you are using the <em>Persistent Manager Implementation</em>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  as described above, you <strong>MUST</strong> nest a

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  <strong><Store></strong> element inside, which defines the

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  characteristics of the persistent data storage.  Two implementations
							 |
