public class ContainerFactory

extends java.lang.Object

implements IARObjectFactory

The methods in the ContainerFactory class are used to instantiate a new container object or to get an existing container from the server. You then define the properties of the object, and then you can perform different operations (e.g. set/create/delete) on the object from the server side.

The following Java code snippet is an example of how to get an container object that is existing on the server:

ContainerFactory containerFactory = ContainerFactory.getFactory( );
      ContainerKey key = new ContainerKey( );
      ContainerCriteria criteria = new ContainerCriteria( );
      criteria.setRetrieveAll( true );
      Container container = containerFactory.findByKey( context, key, criteria );
