No, there is no difference between entities and src. The tutorial docs you are referring to are building up the entities and mapping step by step: first it is the code of the entities, without the mapping. Later the mapping is added. When using annotation, the mapping is added to the same files in which the entities are defined. Please take some time to read the docs a few times, and then a few times more, until you really understand what it is saying. Then your questions will be resolved.
Some basic vocabulary (you can read more about it in Martin Fowler's "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" and Eric Evans' "Domain Driven Design" to get a better understanding of basic theory): - *entity *= a *domain-object* (defined by its identity). In general, these are the basic "things" to build your model with. - object relational mapping (ORM) = a *mapping *between the domain objects (entities) and relational database tables in order to be able to persist the state of those objects. There is no "src" in the basic vocabulary. That is just a folder that is used in the example to store the PHP-code. You can also use another folder for that; it's not important, just an example. In your program you work with the entities, the domain-objects. The mapping is a different layer, only used to define the storage of the properties you want to persist. For convenience the mapping can be in the same file as the definition of your entities (by means of annotation or as a static function with PHP), but it still is another layer. So please take 2 steps back and read the whole documentation. And again. And some times more. You will understand it if you take the time needed for it.
