- Client Declaration
public class ObjectReference
Represents information that identifies an independent
Content Engine object. An independent
object is instantiated from a subclass of the
IndependentObject class.
It is addressable and has a unique identity by which it can be referenced
for retrieval or update.
Base Element Inheritance
- Attributes
String classId:
- [request] Required expression identifying the class of the object.
This attribute can specify either a symbolic name or a GUID.
- [response] Required expression specifying the symbolic name of
the class of the object.
String objectId:
- [request] Required (except for
EntireNetwork objects
and query result rows) expression specifying the GUID of an object.
Exceptions apply for the following object types:
Realm: The name of the realm must be specified.Group or User: The principal
name of the group or user must be specified.ClassDescription: The symbolic name of an object's
class can be specified instead of an object's GUID.
- [response] Required (except for
EntireNetwork objects
and query result rows) expression specifying the GUID of an object.
Exceptions apply for the following object types:
Realm: The name of the realm must be specified.Group or User: The principal
name of the group or user must be specified.
String objectStore:
- [request] Required (optional for objects that are not stored in
the database repository) expression identifying the object store to
which a specified object belongs. This attribute can specify a symbolic
name, display name, or GUID.
- [response] Required (omitted for objects that are not stored in
the database repository) expression specifying the GUID of the object
store to which a specified object belongs.
Boolean serializationDuplicate: [response]
Optional expression specifying whether this ObjectReference element
has resulted from duplicate object suppression (true)
or not (false). (Duplicate object suppression causes
an ObjectReference element to be returned in a response
instead of an ObjectValue element.) For more information
about duplicate object suppression, see Duplicate Object Suppression.
- Attributes Specific to .NET Clients
Boolean serializationDuplicateSpecified:
Optional expression specifying whether serializationDuplicate has
a value (true) or not (false).
Code Example
// Create an object reference to the root folder
ObjectReference objRootFolder = new ObjectReference();
//Specify its class, object ID, and object store
objRootFolder.classId = "Folder";
objRootFolder.objectId = "{0F1E2D3C-4B5A-6978-8796-A5B4C3D2E1F0}";
objRootFolder.objectStore = "MyObjectStore";
