public class PaymentEntity
extends Object
implements Streamable
Identifier for a payment system entity. Payment System Entities are those entities at the "end points" of a payment transactions. At the greatest resolution, they will be specific purses belonging to a specific user. But we need ways of representing lower levels of resolution. For example, a payer needs to identify only the address of the payee and not necessarily a specific purse of the payee. We use this class to identify a payment system entity at various levels of granularity: - identity of a user - identity of user and a type of payment system - identity of a user and a specific purse belonging to her Eventually, this can be a subclass of a SEMPER wide "Entity" class. This object should have enough information to identify a particular SEMPER user.
