Thanks for the indication.

Yes, User's company attribute refer to object defined in the local 
application. In fact Company instance does not need to be persisted as 
it is unchangeable value.

What I am afraid of is that when persisting one object I may also 
persist much more than I want.

Eventually User's instance should reference company through their hash 
value but this will add complexity.
I am not sure how I should handle that situation.
