public DynamicID(java.lang.String type,

  - DynamicID
```
public DynamicID()
```
    Default constructor.
  - DynamicID
```
protected DynamicID(com.vmware.vapi.data.StructValue __dynamicStructureFields)
```
- Method Detail
  - getType
```
public java.lang.String getType()
```
    The type of resource being identified (for example com.acme.Person).
    Interfaces that contain methods for creating and deleting resources typically contain a constant field specifying the resource type for the resources being created and deleted. The API metamodel metadata interfaces include a interface that allows retrieving all the known resource types.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value of the property.
  - setType
```
public void setType(java.lang.String type)
```
    The type of resource being identified (for example com.acme.Person).
    Interfaces that contain methods for creating and deleting resources typically contain a constant field specifying the resource type for the resources being created and deleted. The API metamodel metadata interfaces include a interface that allows retrieving all the known resource types.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - New value for the property.
  - getId
```
public java.lang.String getId()
```
    The identifier for a resource whose type is specified by getType().
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value of the property. When clients pass a value of this class as a parameter, the property getType() must contain the actual resource type. When methods return a value of this class as a return value, the property getType() will contain the actual resource type.
  - setId
```
public void setId(java.lang.String id)
```
    The identifier for a resource whose type is specified by getType().
    
    Parameters:
    
    id - New value for the property. When clients pass a value of this class as a parameter, the property getType() must contain the actual resource type. When methods return a value of this class as a return value, the property getType() will contain the actual resource type.
