sfi.director.util.ObjectRegistry Class Reference

List of all members.

Detailed Description

Every object class the Director knows of needs to be registered in the Object registry.

The registry glues object classes with user interface

• class names used in menus
• icons used when listing objects
• associated object editor schema
• options: createable / editable
• context objects reasonably are created in
• object classes (LDAP style) covered by this entry

Before using the ObjectRegistry for the first time it needs to be initialized using the fromSearch() method.
