LocalizedString Properties

Specifies a ClassDescription object containing the fixed description (immutable metadata) of the class from which this object is instantiated.

A representation of the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), a unique 128-bit number, that is assigned to this Content Engine object when the object is created. When converted to a string, the Id property is typically depicted as 32 hexadecimal characters enclosed by brackets in the following format: {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. For example, {3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301}.

For User and Group classes, the Id property takes the value of the Security Identifier (SID) rather than the 128-bit GUID. The string representation of the SID is in this example format: S-1-5-21-1559522492-2815155736-3711640725-55269. When Active Directory is used as the directory service for IBM FileNet P8, calls to User.get_Id() and Group.get_Id() always return the current SID for the principal, even if this user or group has only historical SIDs populating the Active Directory server.

For a given property representation, the Id property has the following characteristics:

• PropertyDescription.get_Id() is equal to PropertyTemplate.get_Id(), which is equal to PropertyDefinition.get_PrimaryId().
• PropertyDefinition.get_Id() is not equal to PropertyDefinition.get_PrimaryId().
• PropertyDefinition.get_Id() is not equal to PropertyDescription.get_Id().

For a newly created document object, you can override the Id property of its associated VersionSeries object before you save or check in the document for the first time.

Indicates the name of the locale in which this object is currently operating. A locale name is an ID that indicates the specific regional language of the text string value of a display name or description. For example, the ID "en-us" or "en_US" indicates United States English. Note that the locale name formats are those supported in IETF RFC-3066, with the addition of support for using underscores (_) in place of hyphens between the regional language and the country code, as shown in the example above. Setting the locale to "C" is also supported, and simply maps to the server's Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) defaults for language and country. Variant information passed in the country code of the locale string is ignored by the Content Engine validation routines and stripped off when the object is saved to the object store. Locale validation logic applies to both the Java UserContext locale-specific operations as well as the WSDL-defined locale for the web services SOAP transport.

The user-readable text presented in the language of a specific locale. This locale-specific text is used for displaying names or descriptive text. For database-specific information regarding the maximum length allowed for this property, see Database Engine Differences.
