public class VirtualEntity
extends InstrumentingEntity

This class represents a virtual sub-entity of an InstrumentingEntity, which creates a distinct namespace for all virtual properties added directly to this namespace. This InstrumentingEntity shares the implementation clazz of the extended entity and falls back to it. It will, however, never be responsible generically for these. BO instances that want to use virtual entities have to provide basic support for it via the marker interface InstrumentingBO. Virtual Entities exist as long as its containing InstrumentingSchema exists and aren't shared between different Schema instances. As with other entities, the singular name needs to be unique in the containing Schema. Virtual Entities of Virtual Entities are possible.
