public class DocumentDefinition
extends PublicObjectDefinition

A DocumentDefinition is used to create or update a Document object.

Document maintains Content via a reference to a ContentObject. Thus, to create Content a ContentObjectDefinition is used. This Definition has convenience methods to manipulate a ContentObjectDefinition; or you may access the ContentObjectDefinition directly.

Note that the only way to modify the attributes of a ContentObject (for non-admin users) is to pass a ContentObjectDefinition to a DocumentDefinition and call update on a Document to which you have access. For that reason, all ContentObjectDefinition methods have been implemented as wrappers in the DocumentDefinition class, thus eliminating the need to deal with ContentObjectDefinition directly.
