interface DrupalEntityControllerInterface in Drupal 7

Interface for entity controller classes.

All entity controller classes specified via the 'controller class' key returned by hook_entity_info() or hook_entity_info_alter() have to implement this interface.

Most simple, SQL-based entity controllers will do better by extending DrupalDefaultEntityController instead of implementing this interface directly.
