public class PublicObjectDefinition

extends LibraryObjectDefinition

The PublicObjectDefinition class is the abstract superclass of all public object definition classes. It is used to aid in the construction of PublicObjects by providing methods to set special properties common to all PublicObjects, such as Category, initial folder and securing public object.

Constructor Summary

PublicObjectDefinition(LibrarySession session)
Constructs a PublicObjectDefinition explicitly capturing the session.
