public Interface ExtrinsicObject

extends RegistryEntry
Imports
java.net.*, javax.xml.registry.*
ExtrinsicObjects provide metadata that describes submitted content whose type is not intrinsically known to the registry and therefore must be described by means of additional attributes (e.g., mime type).

Examples of content described by ExtrinsicObject include Collaboration Protocol Profiles (CPP), business process descriptions, and schemas.
