EntityTypeControl DataObject
EntityTypeControl is used to get the information for a specified entity type.
The EntityControl is extended from TypeControl and is used in the input data object of the getSchema method of SchemaService.
The structure of as EntityTypeControl data object consists of:
repositoryId
specifies the ID of the repository in the virtual member manager configuration XML file. For example, if an LDAP server is configured in the virtual member manager configuration XML file with the ID LDAP1, you set the repositoryId to LDAP1 in the EntityTypeControl. The getSchema method returns the supported entity types schema for the repository LDAP1. If the repositoryId is not specified in the EntityTypeControl, the supported entity types schema in the virtual member manager level are returned.
entityTypeName
specifies the entity type. The entityTypeName also is a qualified name which means that it contains the namespace prefix of the entity type.
XML schema definition
The following is the XML schema definition for the EntityTypeControl DataObject:
<xsd:complexType name="EntityTypeControl"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:extension base="TypeControl"> <xsd:attribute name="entityTypeName" type="xsd:token"/> </xsd:extension> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType>
Sample data object
