```
public class RepositoryMarkerManager
extends GenericService
implements MarkerConstants, MarkerValidatorContainer
```
This is the base implementation class for a Repository Marker Manager.
A Marker is a repository item that has a standard set of string properties named key, value and data. There is also one standard property of type Date named creationDate. All extensions of the marker item should have the standard properties.
A marker is always referenced in the context of a marked(owning) repository item. The API provides that ability to create or remove a marker from a particular owner and determine if a particular owner has a specific marker by matching any combination of the key, value, and data property values.
A marked item is a repository item that has a multi-valued(Collection) of marker items.
Additional properties can be added to the marker item and provided to the API using the extendedProperties map. The extended properties map can be specified when adding, removing or testing for marker items. The map must contain a property name to value mapping.
The marked and marker items must be defined in the same repository.
Whenever specifying a string property value in the API, an empty string is considered the same as NULL.
This implementation supports marker collections of type List and Set. For Sets, the API methods that rely on ordinal position will sort the Set by marker creationDate.
Adding and removing markers:
Applications that add and remove markers must provide the marked item as a mutable repository item and perform the final update of the marked item. For example,
mutItem = repository.getItemForUpdate(item); repositoryMarkerManager.addMarkerToItem(mutItem,.....) repository.updateItem(mutItem)
Dealing with duplicate markers:
When adding a new marker to an item, a duplication mode can be specified to optionally allow duplicates, replace duplicates, or to prevent a new duplicate marker from being added(no duplicates).
Comparator components are used to determine if there are duplicate markers when adding a new marker. These components are global instances of MarkerDuplicateComparator. A comparator is called once for each marker in the item's current marker collection to determine if the marker is a duplicate of the new marker.
A default comparator component is defined using the property defaultDuplicateMarkerComparator.
There's also a map of comparator components defined by the property markerDuplicateComparators. By default, the new marker's key value is used to lookup the appropriate comparator in the map.
When using the NO_DUPLICATES or REPLACE_DUPLICATES option at least one comparator must be defined to determine the duplicates. If a comparator is not found in the map, the default comparator is used.
Validating markers:
Validator components are used to validate markers before they're added. Each validator is mapped by a marker key. The alwaysValidate boolean property can be set to true to force validation of all new markers. In that case, there must be a validator defined for all new markers. If alwaysValidate is set to false, only the new markers with a matching validator are validated.
Testing marked items for specific markers:
Some API methods, such as hasMarker, can be used to test if an item has a specific marker using any combination of the key, value and data properties. These methods allow the caller to provide a subset of property values to use in the comparison. For instance, the caller can determine if an item has a marker with a key of "test", where only the key value is used in the comparison, regardless of all other properties on the marker.
If the caller provides a property value that is NULL or an empty string, that value must also be NULL on the marker for a successful match. If the caller doesn't want to include a property in the comparison, they can specify a special string token that tells the RepositoryMarkerManager to ignore the property during the comparison. This special token is defined in the MarkerConstants class.
Example of determining if a marked item has a particular marker:
hasMarker(markedItem, "Campaigns","OctoberSale",MarkerConstants.ANY_VALUE);

    This method returns the last marker with a given key only if it has a matching value, data and extendedProperties.
    For example, it first retrieves all markers with the given key. Then it tests the last one of those markers against the other provided property values.
    If the parameter values are NULL then the marker property must also be NULL. If you want to exclude/ignore a property, specify MarkerConstants.ANY_VALUE.
    
    Parameters:
    pMarkedItem - The item containing the markers.
    pKey - (required) The key value used to match markers.
    pValue - The value value used to match markers.
    pData - The data value used to match markers.
    pMarkerPropertyName - the property containing the collection of markers.
    pExtendedProperties - a map of property values used to match the marker items. If the map contains a NULL entry value, the matching marker property must also be NULL. If Map is NULL the extended properties are not included in the test.
    
    Returns:
    the matching item, otherwise null.
