Simple PropertyCollector Example (Java) uses a

ContainerView

to specify the objects that start the collection process. This is the simplest way to set up a filter, using a single reference to a view to provide the

PropertyCollector

with access to a set of objects. To locate objects in the inventory, a filter includes

TraversalSpec

and possibly

SelectionSpec

objects. Use these objects to direct the

PropertyCollector

to the managed objects and their properties named in the

PropertySpec

data objects of the

PropertyFilterSpec

.
