      public static DAVEntityInterface newDAVEntity(String objectType, String reposId, RepositoryInterface repos)
      Create an instance of a sublass of DAVEntity. The value of the className is used to construct the name of the class to instantiate.

      Parameters:
      objectType - Object's type
      reposId - The location of where the instance will be located in the repository
      repos - The repository in which this instance is to be created

    • narrow

      public static Object narrow(RepositoryData entity)
      Given an entity, work out the correct class name and then create an instance of that class to return. In this case, the class will always be a subclass of com.sas.services.information.metadata.dav.DAVEntity.

      The first step is to check the value of the resourcetype property. This gives us the basis for the class name.

      Parameters:
      entity - An entity (collection of properties).
      Returns:
      Object The instance of a class determined from the values of the entities' properties
