# Class EntityResolver

java.lang.Object
org.apache.cayenne.map.EntityResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `MappingNamespace`

public class EntityResolver extends Object implements MappingNamespace, Serializable
Represents a virtual shared namespace for zero or more DataMaps. Unlike DataMap, EntityResolver is intended to work as a runtime container of mapping. DataMaps can be added or removed dynamically at runtime.

EntityResolver is thread-safe.

  1.1
