Registry entry that binds a DAO, its scripting DAO, and metadata (search filter, i18n prefix, nested DOs, full-text search support) for plugin and core module registration in the ProjectForge application-wide registry.

Architecture

RegistryEntry is a central piece of the ProjectForge plugin system. Each business module (time-sheets, addresses, todo, etc.) and each plugin registers one RegistryEntry per entity type. The entry carries:

id — A unique string identifier for the registry entry (e.g. "timesheet", "address").
daoClassType — The concrete BaseDao class, needed because Spring wraps DAOs in proxies.
i18nPrefix — I18n key prefix for UI labels (defaults to id if not given).
Scripting support — Each entry can register a custom ScriptingDao for Groovy/scripting engine exposure, or suppress scripting entirely.
Full-text search — Controls whether the entity participates in Hibernate Search indexing via isFullTextSearchSupport().
Search filter class — Registers a BaseSearchFilter subclass for advanced search forms.
Nested DO classes — Dependent entities (e.g., address images) that should be re-indexed alongside the parent.

The Registry class (in the same package) collects all RegistryEntry instances and provides lookup by ID or DO class. The Wicket module extends this with WebRegistryEntry (in org.projectforge.web.registry) which adds web-layer metadata such as menu entries.
