Method Detail

getType

public String getType()
Description copied from class: Entity
The type of the object (eg "room", "light", "volume", etc). This must be unique to the entity class.

NOTE: it is also a good practice to provide a static field that defines the entity type on the class: eg

 public static final String ENTITY_TYPE = "room";
 

Specified by:
getType in class Entity
