Entity is a general term for a DomainParticipant, Publisher, Subscriber, DataWriter, DataReader or Topic.

Entity is an interface defined in the OMG DDS specification, with the following characteristics:

  • Configured using a QosPolicy
  • Accepting a Listener
  • Accepting a StatusCondition

This is the base interface for DomainParticipant, Publisher, Subscriber, DataWriter, DataReader, and Topic classes.  Any group of objects of these subclasses may be referred to as Entities.
