public interface PropertySetManager

extends weblogic.jws.control.Control

PropertySetManager is a stateless session bean that provides access to property sets, through PropertySetRepositories. It also provides translation between XML and property set objects for use in the data synchronization framework.

This control requires that the PropertySetManager EJB has been deployed to the application. The PropertySetManager EJB is contained in p13n_ejb.jar, and is automatically deployed as part of a Portal application.
