A Key object represents the unique key allocated to a RegistryObject when it is first added to the registry. The Key contains a string-valued identifier that can be retrieved using the getId( ) method and set using setId( ). Changing the identifier has the effect of changing the object in the registry with which the RegistryObject is associated. In general, you should allow the registry to assign the key for a new registry object. However, ebXML registries also allow the registry client to specify the key.
