Get a PathUrl from an Information Service entity key. The key may come from a MetadataInterface.getEntityKey() method call, or a BrowseMetadataInterface.getISEntityKey() call. A single trip to the repository is performed to get the necessary information to find the path information to build the PathUrl object.

Parameters:

user - The UserContext to use to look in the repository for the path information.

iSEntityKey - The Information Service entity key representing the object to calculate the path for.

Returns:

The PathUrl object for the metadata object, or null if no valid path can be determined.

Throws:

ServiceException - If a repository error occurs.

RemoteException - If a remote object failure occurs with the repository.
