## com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api
Interface Identity<T>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - The WCM API object type for which this is the Identity

All Superinterfaces:
  java.lang.Comparable<java.lang.Object>, java.io.Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:
  DocumentId<T>

    public interface Identity<T>

extends java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<java.lang.Object>

Represents the ID of a WCM API object.

Method Summary
`int` | `compareTo(java.lang.Object o)` Compares this object with the specified object for order.
`java.lang.String` | `getID()` Returns the unique identity number of this object.
`java.lang.Class<T>` | `getTypeClass()` Returns the class of this object.

Method Detail

### getID

    java.lang.String getID()

  Returns the unique identity number of this object.

  Returns:
    the unique id

### getTypeClass

    java.lang.Class<T> getTypeClass()

  Returns the class of this object.

  Returns:
    the class of this object

### compareTo

    int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

  Compares this object with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

  Note: typically, `Identity` objects are comparable to other `Identity` objects.

  Specified by:
    `compareTo` in interface `java.lang.Comparable<java.lang.Object>`
  Parameters:
    `o` - the Object to be compared.
  Returns:
    a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
  Throws:
