@Entity

@Configurable
public class Specimen
extends DerivedUnitBase<IIdentifiableEntityCacheStrategy<Specimen>>
implements Cloneable

A specimen is regarded as derived from an field observation, so locality and gathering related information is captured as a separate FieldObservation object related to a specimen via a derivation event

Method Detail

NewInstance

public static Specimen NewInstance()

Factory method

Returns:

getPreservation

public PreservationMethod getPreservation()

setPreservation

public void setPreservation(PreservationMethod preservation)

setExsiccatum

public void setExsiccatum(String exsiccatum)

getExsiccatum

public String getExsiccatum()

clone

public Object clone()

Clones this specimen. This is a shortcut that enables to create a new instance that differs only slightly from this specimen by modifying only some of the attributes.
This method overrides the clone method from DerivedUnitBase.

Overrides:

clone in class DerivedUnitBase<IIdentifiableEntityCacheStrategy<Specimen>>
