public abstract class PcmRepresentative<E extends org.palladiosimulator.pcm.core.entity.NamedElement>
extends Object
```
Abstract class representing a generic PCM model entity. Includes methods to further traverse the underlying PCM model. Note that the generic type E extends NamedElement and not Entity. Due to some (to me unknown) reasons an Allocation is a sub type of Entity, but a ResourceEnvironment is not.

- Method Detail
  - setEntity
```
public PcmRepresentative<E> setEntity(E entity)
```
    Set the entity which will be represented by this object.
  - transform
```
public void transform()
```
    Transformation process:
    
    Traverse through all relevant entities connected to this entity.
    Generate files necessary for this entity, depending on the language and technology used.
    Store generated files.
    Traverse and Generate are template methods.
  - traverse
```
protected void traverse()
```
    Traverse through the PCM model, following all relevant connections starting from the represented element. Nothing is traversed in the default case.
  - generate
```
protected void generate()
```
    Generate the files needed for this entity. Nothing is generated in the default case.
