Use the update method to modify the information of an entity.
Purpose
The update method modifies the entity specified
in the root data object. This method is used for updating information related
to the entity, such as properties, assigning entities to groups, or moving
an entity to a different parent.
The information can be modified in either
of two ways.
- The caller can create an empty root data object and specify the changes
needed. This data object with the changed values replaces the existing data
object and its existing values.
- The caller can call the get method to get the specified values to be updated,
make the changes, then send modifications back to the update method.
Parameters
- root
- Specifies the root data object containing entity with changes that need
to be updated.
Returns
The root data object containing the updated
entity with its identifier.
Signature
public DataObject update(DataObject root)
throws WIMException
