  • Disposition Summary:

    Close this issue with no change. DomainEntity is a classifier directly from the DDS PIM. Its value is to capture the invariant that domain participants have no parent entity, and entities of all other types do. If this type is removed, and getParent is moved to Entity, this static invariant will become a run-time invariant (i.e. getParent will have to return null when the object is a participant), making application code less robust.
    Disposition: Closed, no change
