| * An identified list is a list which is identified by a T2Reference. Lists are |
| * immutable once named - if getId() returns a non null value all list methods |
| * modifying the underlying list data will throw {@link IllegalStateException}. |
| * In the reference management API this list sub-interface is used to represent |
| * both collections of identifiers (i.e. 'raw' stored lists) and more fully |
| * resolved structures where the types in the list can be reference sets, error |
| * documents and other lists of such. The {@link ListDao} interface uses only |
| * the 'raw' form consisting of flat lists of identifiers. |
| * <p> |
| * The IdentifiedList has a unique T2Reference associated with it. If this is |
| * null the contents of the list may be modified, otherwise all modification |
| * operations throw {@link IllegalStateException}. Lists in T2, once named, are |
| * immutable. |
