                                       throws java.rmi.RemoteException

This method is used to create the start of the full XML string needed to perform an update. This method creates the beginning part of the top level string.

Returns:

the beginning of the update string required to perform an update

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if connection to object is lost.

createObjectXML

java.lang.String createObjectXML(CMetadata inObject)
                                 throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Creates XML for an object

Parameters:

inObject -

Returns:

the xml string

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if connection to object is lost.

createObjectXML

java.lang.String createObjectXML(CMetadata inObject,
                                 boolean includeEmptyAssocs)
                                 throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Creates XML for an object

Parameters:

inObject - the object to create XML for

includeEmptyAssocs - true to include placeholder for all empty associations.

Returns:

the xml string

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if connection to object is lost.

createObjectRefreshXML

java.lang.String createObjectRefreshXML(CMetadata inObject,
                                        boolean includeLocallyChangedItems,
                                        boolean getFullObjectUpdate)
                                        throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Creates XML for an object

Parameters:

inObject -

includeLocallyChangedItems - to include changed attributes/assocs in update XML or not.

getFullObjectUpdate - to update all of object or just populated pieces.

Returns:

the xml string

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if connection to object is lost.

createEmptyXML

java.lang.String createEmptyXML()
                                throws java.rmi.RemoteException

This method is used to create the start of an empty string to compare against the generated string. This is so we don't make extra XML.

Returns:

the beginning of the update string required to perform an update

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if connection to object is lost.

closeUpdateMetadataXML

java.lang.String closeUpdateMetadataXML(java.lang.String outXML,
                                        java.lang.String strTagToClose)

Returns:

the ending part of an updatemetadata string.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if connection to object is lost.

createUpdateAssociationXML

java.lang.String createUpdateAssociationXML()
                                            throws MdException,

                                            java.lang.StringBuffer outXML)
                                            throws MdException,
                                                   java.rmi.RemoteException

Creates update XML for all associations on inputed object.

Parameters:

inObject -

outXML -

Returns:

XML for Associations in object.
