Next to getters and setters, I tend to add 'hassers' on my Entities. For
example:
class User
{
/**
* @var City
*/
private $city;
public function hasCity()
{
return $this->city instanceof City;
}
}
works quite well. The whole process of managing the getters, setters,
hassers and other utility functions can be automated using a code generator
which parses your Entity metadata. Then you have your common entity 'User'
extend a generated one, for example 'UserGenerated' and voila.
Don't believe this is a best practice, but it makes it easier to get new
mappings up and running quickly. Some IDE's also allow you to define your
own code generation templates...
Cheers
