The Web services provided with the Personalization layer return repository items as Repo2Xml
items. You can manipulate the returned item by means of mapping files that allow you to do the following:
Block certain properties from being returned.
Change the property names in the resulting
Repo2Xml
item.
For example, assume you are returning a user
item, but you do not want the client calling the method to see the value of the scenarioInstances
property. You could set up a mapping file for the user
item descriptor that omits the scenarioInstances
property when Repo2Xml
items are created The syntax for these mapping files is defined in the Web Services Guide.
