Build a list of trail metadata starting with the owning collection and ending with the root level parent. If the Object is an item, a bundle, or a bitstream, then the object is not included, but its collection and community parents are. However if the item is a community or collection then it is included along with all parents.

If the terminal object in the trail is the passed object, do not link to it, because that is (presumably) the page at which the user has arrived.

Parameters:

dso -

pageMeta -

Throws:

SQLException

WingException
