/*
 * The PdxInstance QuickStart Example.
 * This example takes the following steps:
 *
 * This example shows IPdxInstanceFactory and IPdxInstance usage. 
 *
 * 1. Create a Geode Cache.
 * 2. Creates the PdxInstanceFactory for Person class.
 * 3. Then creates instance of PdxInstance
 * 4. It does put.
 * 5. Then it does get and access it fields.
 * 6. Close the Cache.
