An object that exists after the process or thread that created it. Synonym: persistent object [OMA].
A persistent object is an object that continues to exist and retains its data beyond the duration of the process that creates it.
A persistent object has been activated in a POA with the ``persistent'' lifespan policy. Persistent objects can outlive the server they were originally created in, so the server can be stopped and restarted transparently, usually by an Implementation Repository.
An object that can survive the process or thread that created it. A persistent object exists until it is explicitly deleted.
