The Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ComponentData class contains the metamodel metadata information of a component element along with its fingerprint.
| public method Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ComponentData::get_fingerprint | ( | ) |
Gets the value of 'fingerprint' property.
| fingerprint | - The current value of the field. Fingerprint of the metamodel metadata of the component component. |
Metamodel information could change when there is an infrastructure update and new functionality is added to an existing component.
Since the data present in :attr:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ComponentData.info could be quite large, fingerprint provides a convenient way to check if the data for a particular component is updated.
You should store the fingerprint associated with a component. After an update, by invoking the :func:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::Component.fingerprint method* , you can retrieve the new fingerprint for the component. If the new fingerprint and the previously stored fingerprint do not match, clients can use the :func:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::Component.get to retrieve the new metamodel information for the component.

Code:
| public method Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ComponentData::get_info | ( | ) |
Gets the value of 'info' property.
| info | - The current value of the field. Metamodel information of the component element. This includes information about all the package elements contained in this component element. |
