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.
