All Implemented Interfaces:

@Entity
public class EntityToAttribute
extends IObjectAssignment.ObjectAssignmentBase
implements IAttributeAssignment

EntityToAttribute represents the assignment of complex entity, attribute and a dataValueSet. It may specify validity filters for the value in respect to territory, time or others.

EntityToAttribute represents the assignment of an Attribute to a ComplexEntity. The assignment in most cases carries one or more values stored in values. It depends on the setting of the Attribute and it's DataType what is stored in values member:

• single or multivalue, locale independent: one DataValue in EXCLUSIVE DataValueSet
• single or multivalue, locale dependent: one or more DataValue in EXCLUSIVE DataValueSet
• enumeration: SHARED DataValueSet (one of attribute's standardValues)

If the Attribute is territory dependent the chosen Territory must be stored in EntityToAttribute.
Both Attribute and ComplexEntity must always be present in EntityToAttribute.
Additional filters can be set to EntityToAttributes in order to group and structure them for publication or display, currently only used for price values (validFrom/To).
