1. A method for providing a warning upon retrieval of objects that are incomplete, comprising the steps of: (a) providing an object with at least one missing attribute; (b) receiving a request from an application for the object; (c) allowing access to the attributes of the object by the application; and (d) providing a warning upon an attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing, wherein the warning includes information on how to resolve the missing attribute. 2. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein an implicit transaction is called by the object upon the attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing. 3. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein an explicit transaction is called by the object upon the attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing. 4. A method as recited in claim 3, wherein the transaction includes finding the attribute that is missing. 5. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing a warning upon retrieval of objects that are incomplete, comprising: (a) a code segment that provides an object with at least one missing attribute; (b) a code segment that receives a request from an application for the object; (c) a code segment that allows access to the attributes of the object by the application; and (d) a code segment that provides a warning upon an attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing, wherein the warning includes information on how to resolve the missing attribute. 6. A computer program as recited in claim 5, wherein an implicit transaction is called by the object upon the attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing. 7. A computer program as recited in claim 5, wherein an explicit transaction is called by the object upon the attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing. 8. A computer program as recited in claim 7, wherein the transaction includes finding the attribute that is missing. 9. A system for providing a warning upon retrieval of objects that are incomplete, comprising: (a) logic that provides an object with at least one missing attribute; (b) logic that receives a request from an application for the object; (c) logic that allows access to the attributes of the object by the application; and (d) logic that provides a warning upon an attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing, wherein the warning includes information on how to resolve the missing attribute. 10. A system as recited in claim 9, wherein an implicit transaction is called by the object upon the attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing. 11. A system as recited in claim 9, wherein an explicit transaction is called by the object upon the attempt to access the attribute of the object that is missing. 12. A system as recited in claim 11, wherein the transaction includes finding the attribute that is missing. 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the warning requires a calling application to resolve the missing attribute. 14. The method of claim 5 wherein the warning requires a calling application to resolve the missing attribute. 15. The method of claim 9 wherein the warning requires a calling application to resolve the missing attribute.
