Folder Expected Content Class
Topic Last Modified: 2006-06-12
The expected-content-class Field enables you to define the names of expected content classes for items in a particular folder. The list of expected content classes for a folder is information that applications typically use when creating aggregate views of properties for items in that folder. For example, when you issue a WebDAV PROPFIND Method for all properties in a folder (Depth = 1), or you issue a SELECT Statement, the list of properties returned is calculated using the definitions of the folder's expected content classes.
There are two ways to set expected content classes:
- For a specified folder
Update the expected-content-class Field for the folder item. - As part of a content class definition
This technique is suitable for defining a folder content class, such as with urn:content-classes:contactfolder, which usually contains items having a content class of urn:content-classes:person.
