Direct Known Subclasses:

TieCategory

public class Category

extends TiePublicObject

The Category class is used to add custom meta-data to PublicObjects on a per instance basis. In addition, Categories can be added across different PublicObject classes.

Category subclasses can contain their own custom data, which effectively contain data about the PublicObject with which the Category instance is associated. A PublicObject can be associated with any Category, which allows different sets of data to be associated with instances of the same PublicObject subclass. Additionally, PublicObjects can be associated with multiple instances of Category subclasses.
