Extending or customising JALSE

Why extend or customise JALSE

JALSE was designed with modular abstraction in mind. Each of the core components can be used to some extent on their own but together create the dynamic Entity tree.

The most common use-case for customisation is the backing Entity and EntityFactory implementation.

Creating a custom AttributeContainer

The default AttributeContainer implementation is DefaultAttributeContainer. AttributeContainer provides a lot of default methods to make creating your own implementation easier. Attributes (see API docs) provides handy utility methods for both AttributeType and NamedAttributeType.
