Collectors
A collector is an internal process within CentraSite that identifies all of the constituents of a composite object. A collector examines a given object and returns lists that identify:
The nonshared components associated with the composite object
The shared components associated with the composite object
The required objects associated with the composite object
Each composite type has its own collector. The lists produced by a collector are used by handlers that operate on instances of composite objects. For example, when you delete an XML Schema, the delete handler for schemas deletes the schema itself and all of the schema's nonshared components as identified by the collector for XML Schemas.
