public class LocalObject extends Object implements LocalId, LocalStringId, Serializable, DeepCloneable, Comparable<LocalObject>, com.appiancorp.core.expr.portable.PortableLocalObject
This class represents the base class for all first-class Appian Objects. It is used to represent objects with both Long and String ID's. At all times either the Long ID or the String ID is valid. LocalObject cannot have valid Id and StringId at the same time.
