public interface TopiaEntity
extends java.io.Serializable
The TopiaEntity is the main interface for each entities generated with TopiaMetaTransformer. An entity is simply a persistent bean mapped with hibernate. The manipulation on entities (create, update, delete, find) is made by the dao associated. The corresponding dao interface is TopiaDAO. Setter methods have to be used only in internal. They are in the interface to make easier their usages in internal.
