Country DataObject
Country specifies the name of a country.
Country DataObject extends from the abstract data object GeographicLocation. Locality represents a country.
The structure of a Country data object consists of:
identifier
contains a single IdentifierType data object.
countryName
specifies the name of the country.
parent
is a containment property which is used to link to the parent of the entity in the virtual member manager hierarchy. It only contains a single Entity data object because an entity can only have one parent. Also, because any entity can be parent of any other entity, the data object in the property is an Entity data object.
children
is a containment property used to link to the children of the entity in the virtual member manager hierarchy. It contains multiple Entity data objects because an entity can have multiple children. Also, because any entity can be a child of another entity, the data object in the property is an Entity data object.
changeType
is an optional property that is set only in response to a search for changed entities. It describes the type of change that occurred, which could be adding a new entity, modifying an existing entity, deleting an entity, or renaming an entity. The valid values and string constants of the changeType property are add (for CHANGETYPE_ADD), delete (for CHANGETYPE_DELETE), modify (for CHANGETYPE_MODIFY), and rename (for CHANGETYPE_RENAME).
