PanacheEntityBase

```
public interface PanacheEntityBase

                    
```
Represents an entity. If your Hibernate entities extend this class they gain auto-generated accessors to all their public fields (unless annotated with Transient), as well as a lot of useful methods. Unless you have a custom ID strategy, you should not extend this class directly but extend PanacheEntity instead.
