Retrieves an object of the ClassDefinition class by the specified object identity from the specified object store. This method always makes a round-trip to the server. You can optionally include a filter to control which properties to return with the object. If you pass in null for the filter parameter, this method returns values for all non-object properties and returns placeholders for all object-valued properties. For more information, see the description of the filter parameter.

JavaScript
FileNet.Api.Core.ClassDefinition.fetchInstance = function(os, objectIdentity, filter);

Parameters

os
Type: FileNet.Api.Core..::.IObjectStore
The ObjectStore object in which this class instance is located.
objectIdentity
Type: System..::.String
A String that identifies the object. This value can be the ID (in GUID format), path, or name of the object to retrieve.
filter
Type: FileNet.Api.Property..::.PropertyFilter
A PropertyFilter object that represents information for controlling which property values (and with what level of detail and recursion) to return. If null, this method returns values for all non-object properties and returns placeholders for all object-valued properties (PropertyEngineObject properties with a state of PropertyState.UNEVALUATED or PropertyState.REFERENCE); any subsequent attempts to access an object-valued property will cause an automatic round-trip to the server to fetch its value.

Return Value

The requested ClassDefinition object.
