Entity Class

Design identifier for a problem domain class.


An entity class is a class used to model information and associated behavior that must be stored. Entity objects (instances of entity classes) are used to hold and update information about some phenomenon, such as an event, a person, or some real-life object. They are usually persistent, having attributes and relationships needed for a long period, sometimes for the life of the system.
