  • ContentAccess::CMetaData

Detailed Description

Stores a field and data pair for use in a supplier import operation

The field and data can be any values the application doing the import thinks the agent will find useful. Some information that could be included here are headers, eg:

"Content Type", "application/vnd.oma.drm.dm"

The application can include anything it likes, if the agent doesn't understand the header it can just ignore it, eg:

"Colour", "Yellow"

CMetaData can be used with 8-bit or unicode data and automatically performs conversions between the two.

Applications should use the unicode functions whenever possible because it removes the risk of losing information during the unicode to 8 bit conversion.
