Metadata Metamodel Component APIs
The Component service providers operations to retrieve metamodel information of a component element. A component defines a set of functionality that is deployed together and versioned together. For example, all the services that belong to VMware Content Library are part of a single component. A component element describes a component. A component element contains one or more package elements.
The operations for package elements are provided by service Package.
Operations
get
List Metamodel Component
Returns the identifiers for the component elements that are registered with the infrastructure.

get
Get Metamodel Component
Retrieves metamodel information about the component element corresponding to componentId. The ComponentData contains the metamodel information about the component and it's fingerprint. It contains information about all the package elements that are contained in this component element.

get
Fingerprint Metamodel Component
Retrieves the fingerprint computed from the metamodel metadata of the component element corresponding to componentId. The fingerprint provides clients an efficient way to check if the metadata for a particular component element has been modified on the server. The client can do this by comparing the result of this operation with the fingerprint returned in the result of Component.get.
