Interface TopiaEntity

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

TopiaEntityContextable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTopiaEntity

public interface TopiaEntity
extends Serializable

The TopiaEntity is the main interface for each generated entity.

An entity is just a persistent bean mapped with Hibernate. The manipulation on entities (create, update, delete, find) is made by the associated TopiaDao.

Setter methods have to be used only in internal. They are in the interface to make easier their usages in internal.
