Class AbstractAnnotatedEntity

      org.axonframework.eventsourcing.annotation.AbstractAnnotatedEntity

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventSourcedEntity

public abstract class AbstractAnnotatedEntity
extends AbstractEventSourcedEntity

Convenience super type for entities (other than aggregate roots) that have their event handler methods annotated with the EventHandler annotation.

Note that each entity receives all events applied in the entire aggregate. Entities are responsible for filtering out the actual events to take action on.

If this entity is a child of another AbstractAnnotatedEntity or AbstractAnnotatedAggregateRoot, the field that this entity is stored in should be annotated with EventSourcedMember. Alternatively, the AbstractEventSourcedEntity.getChildEntities() or AbstractEventSourcedAggregateRoot.getChildEntities() should return a collection containing this entity instance.
