Display a Class Tree Inheritance

Show the Class Inheritance for a Namespace or a part of a namespace starting at a particular class.

NameSpace    Namespace in which to display the classes.

ClassName     Defines the name of the Class that is the basis for the enumeration.. Null (no entry) lists all class names in the Namespace

Connect Timeout                                           Connection Timeout in seconds. 

DeepInheritance   If true return names of all subclasses of specified class. If false, only immediate subclasses are returned.

                

Additional description

The Class Tree Inheritance presents a table of classes and their superclasses for the Namespace and ClassName defined.

Thus function uses the enumerate classes to acquire a set of classes

The connection timeout is proivded as an optional parameter for this command becuase the timeouts for enumerate of all classes can require much more time than the normal command. Since a typical class repository may include 700 - 8-- classes and this command is providing the complete objects, the dataflow could amount to several megabytes.

In this case we set deepInheritance off as a default so that the normal view shows only the children of the defined class.

Note that the class requested is not included in the response.
