7.2.4.5 getDomain operation
The getDomain operation is more completely specified in Table 21. provides a UML model of the getDomain operation that shows the complete Discovery class with the
GetDomainRequest and GetDomainResponse classes and the class they use. The operation request includes the attributes listed and defined in Table 22. The normal
operation response includes the attributes and association role name listed and defined in Table 23.
Table 21 — Definition of getValueDomain operation
Definition Allows clients to retrieve the domain allowed values of a metadata property or request
parameter at the time the request is invoked. The returned information may be static domain information, but may also be dynamic in that the allowed values are determined at
runtime. The operation does a best attempt at returning information about a metadata property or request parameter.
Receives Names of one or more requested metadata properties or request parameters.
Returns
Descriptions of domains of one or more requested metadata properties or request parameters
Exceptions Missing Parameter Value, Invalid Parameter Name
Pre-conditions
None
Post-conditions Descriptions of domains returned to requesting client, containing the domain descriptions
for all the identified metadata properties or request parameters.
