Managed
```
public interface ManagedEntity
extends Managed
```
Specialized Managed contract for entity classes. Essentially provides access to information about an instance's association to a Session/EntityManager. Specific information includes:
- the association's EntityEntry (by way of $$_hibernate_getEntityEntry() and $$_hibernate_setEntityEntry(org.hibernate.engine.spi.EntityEntry)). EntityEntry describes states, snapshots, etc.
- link information. ManagedEntity instances are part of a "linked list", thus link information describes the next and previous entries/nodes in that ordering. See $$_hibernate_getNextManagedEntity(), $$_hibernate_setNextManagedEntity(org.hibernate.engine.spi.ManagedEntity), $$_hibernate_getPreviousManagedEntity(), $$_hibernate_setPreviousManagedEntity(org.hibernate.engine.spi.ManagedEntity)

- Method Detail
  - $$_hibernate_getEntityInstance
```
Object $$_hibernate_getEntityInstance()
```
    Obtain a reference to the entity instance.
    
    Returns:
    
    The entity instance.
  - $$_hibernate_getEntityEntry
```
EntityEntry $$_hibernate_getEntityEntry()
```
    Provides access to the associated EntityEntry.
    
    Returns:
    
    The EntityEntry associated with this entity instance.
    
    See Also:
    
    $$_hibernate_setEntityEntry(org.hibernate.engine.spi.EntityEntry)
  - $$_hibernate_setEntityEntry
```
void $$_hibernate_setEntityEntry(EntityEntry entityEntry)
```
    Injects the EntityEntry associated with this entity instance. The EntityEntry represents state associated with the entity in regards to its association with a Hibernate Session.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entityEntry - The EntityEntry associated with this entity instance.
  - $$_hibernate_getPreviousManagedEntity
```
ManagedEntity $$_hibernate_getPreviousManagedEntity()
```
    Part of entry linking; obtain reference to the previous entry. Can be null, which should indicate this is the head node.
    
    Returns:
    
    The previous entry
  - $$_hibernate_setPreviousManagedEntity
```
void $$_hibernate_setPreviousManagedEntity(ManagedEntity previous)
```
    Part of entry linking; sets the previous entry. Again, can be null, which should indicate this is (now) the head node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    previous - The previous entry
  - $$_hibernate_getNextManagedEntity
```
ManagedEntity $$_hibernate_getNextManagedEntity()
```
    Part of entry linking; obtain reference to the next entry. Can be null, which should indicate this is the tail node.
    
    Returns:
    
    The next entry
  - $$_hibernate_setNextManagedEntity
```
void $$_hibernate_setNextManagedEntity(ManagedEntity next)
```
    Part of entry linking; sets the next entry. Again, can be null, which should indicate this is (now) the tail node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    next - The next entry
