This is an abstract base class for objects that represent collections of ManagedEntity objects. This enables common attributes and relationships and other semantics to be applied to different types of Collections of ManagedEntity objects. These can then be refined in the subclasses of Collection.

Attributes
ManagedEntity	_managedEntity
Integer	orderMethod	This is an enumerated integer, and is used to define the method by which elements in an OrderedSet or Sequence are collated. If the Collection type is Set or Bag, then this attribute MUST have the value 1 ("Not Applicable"). Values include: 1: Not Applicable 2: Ascending 3: Descending
Integer	type	This is an enumerated integer that defines the type of Collection that this object is. Values include: 1: Set 2: OrderedSet 3: Sequence 4: Bag A Set does not contain duplicate elements, and does not impose an order on its elements. An OrderedSet is like a Set, except that it does impose an order on its contents. A Bag is like a Set, except that it may contain duplicates. A Sequence is like a Bag, except that the elements are ordered.

 type

Public Integer type

This is an enumerated integer that defines the type of Collection that this object is. Values include:

1: Set
2: OrderedSet
3: Sequence
4: Bag

A Set does not contain duplicate elements, and does not impose an order on its elements. An OrderedSet is like a Set, except that it does impose an order on its contents. A Bag is like a Set, except that it may contain duplicates. A Sequence is like a Bag, except that the elements are ordered.
