Content Operations

Description

The DDF Content provides the capability to read, create, update, and delete content from the DDF Content Repository.

Each of these Operations follow a request/response paradigm. The request is the input to the operation and contains all of the input parameters needed by the Content Framework's operation to communicate with the Storage Providers and Content Plugins. The response is the output from the execution of the Operation that is returned to the client, and contains all of the data returned by the Storage Providers and Content Plugins. For each Operation there is an associated request/response pair, e.g., the CreateRequest and CreateResponse pair for the Content Framework's create operation.

All of the request and response objects are extensible in that they can contain additional key/value properties on each request/response. This allows additional capability to be added without changing the Content API, helping to maintain backwards compatibility. Refer to the Developer's Guide for details on using this extensibility.
