| * 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 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 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 IllegalStateException. Lists in T2, once named, are |
| * immutable. |
