Interface EntityType

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface EntityType
extends Serializable

Gives type information for an Entity. It is an immutable snapshot. It reflects a given entity at the time the snapshot was created: if sensors were added or removed on-the-fly then those changes will be included in subsequent snapshots. Therefore instances of a given class of entity could have different EntityTypes.
