Working on it (conn is really slow and I'm downloading a lot of projects so it might not happen tonight)

Hi,
To my understanding, this is a class intended to simplify working with Entities - providing some out-of-the-box entity implementation to be extended
and only the the functionality that needs to be modified to overloaded. However all its members are made private and besides the constructors, there is
no way to modify them once they have been set. This is fine for all complex member - context, model, the attributes collection, etc since one can get
a non-const reference and modify content but entityId and type are immutable. Wouldn't it be better to make the members protected or introduce protected setters
for those 2 elements may be at BasicEntity level? Its not a problem one cannot work around it (overriding getEntity() and getType() doing deep copy of BasicEntity(), etc)
but I thought it'd be nice to give a bit more control to derived classes.
George
