| # 4.2.2 - Registries |
| |
| The **Registries** are the place where all **SchemaObject**s are stored and retrieved from. It contains a registry per **SchemaObject**, plus a global registry which is used to retreive a **SchemaObject** from its OID (the OID is unique), and a list of the loaded schemas. |
| |
| Basically, it's the data center of the **SchemaManager**. When you call **SchemaManager.getAttributeType( String )**, the **SchemaManager** will look into the **AttributeTypeRegistry** for the **AttributeType** instance associated with the name or OID. |
| |
| You usually won't need to manipulate this class at all. |
