Entity Model

This section documents the ADITO Entity Model and the customization concepts that are built around it. The Entity Model defines how business objects are structured, how their data is loaded and persisted, and how they are exposed in the client.

What this section covers

The Entity Model chapter focuses on the technical building blocks that are required to model business data and behavior in ADITO. This includes

• the overall structure of Context, Entity, View, and RecordContainer,
• the definition of fields, actions, parameters, and provider-consumer relationships,
• data access patterns such as RecordContainer, LoadEntity, and WriteEntity,
• filtering, validation, and process execution order, and
• the database-related infrastructure behind the Entity Model.

Related topics

The Entity Model is closely connected to the following areas of the documentation:

• ViewTemplates & Layouts, for the presentation layer that displays Entity data in the client.
• Webservices, for API access to Entity-based functionality.
• Training Course, for task-oriented examples that build on the concepts documented here.
