Entity#

public abstract class Entity extends AbstractObservable implements EntityInterface#

Abstract base class for all the important entity classes.

This is the central data class of the server. It represents Records, RecordTypes, Properties, and Files.

This class holds the messages and other transient information as well as the actual data that is being retrieved from or written to the back-end during a transaction.
