Method Detail

• getDisplayName

  java.lang.String getDisplayName()

  A display name; recommended to be a concise single-line description.

• getCatalogItemId

  java.lang.String getCatalogItemId()

  The catalog item ID this object was loaded from.

  This can be used to understand the appropriate classloading context, such as for versioning purposes, as well as meta-information such as branding (maybe you can even get an icon) and potentially things like resource lifecycle (if a software version is being sunsetted).

  In some cases this may be set heuristically from context and so may not be accurate. Callers can set an explicit catalog item ID if inferencing is not correct.

• tags

  BrooklynObject.TagSupport tags()

  Tags are arbitrary objects which can be attached to an entity for subsequent reference. They must not be null (as ImmutableMap may be used under the covers; also there is little point!); and they should be amenable to our persistence (on-disk serialization) and our JSON serialization in the REST API.

• getTagSupport
