ItemModel (vSphere Automation SDK for Java 7.0.1.0)

java.lang.Object
- com.vmware.content.library.ItemModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

StaticStructure, Structure, java.io.Serializable
```
public final class ItemModel
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, StaticStructure
```
The ItemModel class represents a library item that has been stored in a library.
A ItemModel represents a single logical unit to be managed within a LibraryModel. Items contain the actual content of a library, and their placement within a library determines policies that affect that content such as publishing.

A library item can have a specified type, indicated with the getType() property. This property is associated with a Content Library Service plugin that supports specific types and provides additional services. The types available in a specific Content Library Service can be queried using the Type interface. Items of an unknown or unspecified type are treated generically. Because subscribed library catalogs are synchronized as is, subscribing to a remote Content Library Service effectively gives you a library with the functionality of the remote service's type adapter plugins, even if they are not installed locally.

Items can be managed using the Item interface and, for items in subscribed libraries, the SubscribedItem interface.
