Returns the time in UTC that this cached data was first created in the local store. This value is set when autoSave is true is called and a fill(), getItem(), or createItem() request for data that is not already in the local store is completed; or saveCache() is called. Invocations of these methods when the data is already cached will change the last accessed time. The last updated time will also be updated if the cached data is updated as a result of the request.

This value is used to lookup the current DataService and is assigned after this descriptor has been loaded from the local store, it is not stored with the descriptor.

Returns the unique ID of the data cached. This is the value that the service uses to uniquely identify this data. For collections of items this is the value desfined by the remote destination when a fill request is made. For single managed objects (SMOs) this is a map of name value pairs for the item as defined by the <identity> tag in the services-config.xml.

Returns the time in UTC that this cached data was last accessed from the local store. This value is set when a fill(), getItem(), or createItem() request for data that is not already in the local store is completed.

Returns the time in UTC that this cached data was last written to the local store. This value is set when autoSave is true is called and a fill(), getItem(), or createItem() request for data that is not already in the local store is completed; or saveCache() is called. The last write time will be updated if the cached data is updated as a result of the request or a pushed update occurs when autoSave is true.

Provides access to custom information stored along with this data in the local store. Values assinged to this property must be serializable, that is, implement flash.util.IExternalizable or descend from no UI based objects. Typically this value is a string description of the data's relevance within the system. For example "All gold customers" or "All orders over $10K"

Returns the type of data this cache descriptor is associated with Valid values are:

• CacheDataDescriptor.FILL - descriptor is for a filled collection.
• CacheDataDescriptor.ITEM - descriptor is for a managed item.

Initializes this descriptor with the specified cache item and associated id.

Option for use with the getCacheDescriptors(), indicates what type of descriptors should be returned. This constant indicates that descriptors for both filled collections and single managed objects should be returned.

Option for use with the getCacheDescriptors(), indicates what type of descriptors should be returned. This option indicates that only descriptors for filled collections should be returned. This constant is also used to indicate the value of a descriptor's type.
