org.dspace.content.DSpaceObject

org.dspace.content.Collection

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, DSpaceObjectLegacySupport

@Entity
public class Collection
extends DSpaceObject
implements DSpaceObjectLegacySupport

Class representing a collection.

The collection's metadata (name, introductory text etc), workflow groups, and default group of submitters are loaded into memory. Changes to metadata are not written to the database until update is called. If you create or remove a workflow group, the change is only reflected in the database after calling update. The default group of submitters is slightly different - creating or removing this has instant effect.
