All Implemented Interfaces:

BrooklynObject, BrooklynObjectInternal, EntityInternal, EntityLocal, Entity, Rebindable, Configurable, Identifiable

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractApplication, AbstractGeoDnsServiceImpl, AbstractGroupImpl, AbstractNonProvisionedControllerImpl, BalanceableWorkerPoolImpl, BasicEntityImpl, BasicStartableImpl, BrooklynEntityMirrorImpl, BrooklynMetricsImpl, DataEntityImpl, DelegateEntityImpl, EffectorStartableImpl, FollowTheSunPoolImpl, JMSDestinationImpl, KafkaClusterImpl, KafkaTopic, MongoDBShardedDeploymentImpl, MoreEntityImpl, RabbitDestination, RedisClusterImpl, RedisShardImpl, SameServerEntityImpl, SimpleEntityImpl, SoftwareProcessImpl
```
public abstract class AbstractEntity
extends AbstractBrooklynObject
implements EntityLocal, EntityInternal
```
Default Entity implementation, which should be extended whenever implementing an entity.
Provides several common fields (displayName, AbstractBrooklynObject.id), and supports the core features of an entity such as configuration keys, attributes, subscriptions and effector invocation.
If a sub-class is creating other entities, this should be done in an overridden init() method.
Note that config is typically inherited by children, whereas the fields and attributes are not.
Though currently Groovy code, this is very likely to change to pure Java in a future release of Brooklyn so Groovy'isms should not be relied on.
Sub-classes should have a no-argument constructor. When brooklyn creates an entity, it will:
1. Construct the entity via the no-argument constructor
2. Call setDisplayName(String)
3. Call setManagementContext(ManagementContextInternal)
4. Call setProxy(Entity); the proxy should be used by everything else when referring to this entity (except for drivers/policies that are attached to the entity, which can be given a reference to this entity itself).
5. Call configure(Map) and then setConfig(ConfigKey, Object)
6. Call init()
7. Call addPolicy(Policy) (for any policies defined in the EntitySpec)
8. Call setParent(Entity), if a parent is specified in the EntitySpec
The legacy (pre 0.5) mechanism for creating entities is for others to call the constructor directly. This is now deprecated.

```
@Deprecated
public AbstractEntity configure(java.util.Map flags)
```
    Deprecated. since 0.7.0; only used for legacy brooklyn types where constructor is called directly
    
    Description copied from class: AbstractBrooklynObject
    
    Will set fields from flags, and put the remaining ones into the 'leftovers' map. For some types, you can find unused config via ConfigBag.getUnusedConfig().
    To be overridden by AbstractEntity, AbstractLoation, AbstractPolicy, AbstractEnricher, etc.
    But should not be overridden by specific entity types. If you do, the entity may break in subsequent releases. Also note that if you require fields to be initialized you must do that in this method. You must *not* rely on field initializers because they may not run until *after* this method (this method is invoked by the constructor in this class, so initializers in subclasses will not have run when this overridden method is invoked.)
    
    Specified by:
    
    configure in interface EntityInternal
    
    Returns:
    this entity (i.e. itself)

  - getAttribute
```
public <T> T getAttribute(AttributeSensor<T> attribute)

    Description copied from interface: EntityLocal
    
    Sets the AttributeSensor data for the given attribute to the specified value. This can be used to "enrich" the entity, such as adding aggregated information, rolling averages, etc.

    Description copied from interface: EntityLocal
    
    Atomically modifies the AttributeSensor, ensuring that only one modification is done at a time.
