Since a statemachine might run multiple transitions in memory and alter the data in the persistence layer, there might be a need to refresh the entity (create it again) if the in memory object and the data in the persistence layer are not synchronized. this might cause rules or commands to act on in-memory data while it should use the persisted data.

It will be injected in the constructor of the Rule and Command. It implements caching so we always get the same entity instance on each call of 'getEntity' with the same Context |
