public class InfoRepositoryEntity
extends Entity

Represents a node within an information repository (i.e. a repository where documents and information etc. can be stored).

A node could be any part of the information repository, such as the root element of the info repository, some element below the root (i.e. a directory or folder) or the actual contents/data within the information repository (i.e. a document).

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
