Interface ExtrinsicObject

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensibleObject, RegistryEntry, RegistryObject, java.io.Serializable, Versionable

public interface ExtrinsicObject

extends RegistryEntry

ExtrinsicObjects provide metadata that describes submitted content whose type is not intrinsically known to the registry and therefore must be described by means of additional attributes (e.g., mime type).

Examples of content described by ExtrinsicObject include Collaboration Protocol Profiles (CPP), business process descriptions, and schemas.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getContentURI() Gets the URI to the actual object in repository
java.lang.String	getMimeType() Gets the mime type associated with the RegistryEntry.
boolean	isOpaque() Determines whether the ExtrinsicObject is opaque (not readable) by the registry.
void	setMimeType(java.lang.String mimeType) Sets the mime type associated with the RegistryEntry.
void	setOpaque(boolean isOpaque) Sets whether the ExtrinsicObject is opaque (not readable) by the registry.

Method Detail

getMimeType

public java.lang.String getMimeType()
                             throws JAXRException

Gets the mime type associated with the RegistryEntry. Default is a NULL String.

Capability Level: 1

setMimeType

public void setMimeType(java.lang.String mimeType)
                 throws JAXRException

Sets the mime type associated with the RegistryEntry.

Capability Level: 1

isOpaque

public boolean isOpaque()
                 throws JAXRException

Determines whether the ExtrinsicObject is opaque (not readable) by the registry.

In some situations, a Submitting Organization may submit content that is encrypted and not even readable by the registry. This attribute allows the registry to know whether this is the case.

Capability Level: 1

setOpaque

public void setOpaque(boolean isOpaque)
               throws JAXRException

Sets whether the ExtrinsicObject is opaque (not readable) by the registry.

Capability Level: 1

getContentURI

public java.lang.String getContentURI()
                               throws JAXRException
