Class AssetDescriptor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public abstract class AssetDescriptor
extends AssetPropertyElementBase
    This is the base class for a connected asset. It is passed to all the embedded property objects so the name and type can be used for error messages and other diagnostics. It also carries the URL of the asset in the metadata repository where this is known to enable properties to be retrieved on request.
