createMetadataObjectId

public static MetadataObjectId createMetadataObjectId(MetadataObjectId.MetadataObjectType type,
                                      String packageName,
                                      String name)

Creates an instance of a MetadataObjectId from the given individual parts. This method can be useful in submitting a request for specific known metadata objects, where querying such objects via MetadataService is not required.

This method simply assembles an identifier from individual parts. It does not guarantee that the MetadataObjectId created represents a real metadata object in the repository.

Parameters:

type - the type of MetadataObjectId to be created.

packageName - the package of the metadata object for which the id is being created. The package should follow the "/pkg1/pkg2/..." format.

name - the name of metadata object for this id is being created.

Returns:

a MetadataObjectId created from given individual parts.
