@Documented

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface DomainEntity

This annotation tells the Business Framework that the current class is candidate to be an entity from DDD approach.

To be a understood as a valid Entity, the class has also to respects the followings:

• to be non abstract AND
• have a field named entityId has to be annotated with javax.persistence.Id or javax.persistence.EmbeddedId

SEED Business Support propose out of the box parent class for Entity :

• BaseJpaEntity for custom key jpa aggregate root.
• SimpleJpaEntity for aggregate root with simple entity id.
• EmbedJpaEntity for aggregate root with composite entity id.

Usually projects will use SimpleJpaEntity and EmbedJpaEntity. Have a look for examples.
