public abstract class CatalogFactory
extends Object

Factory class to create Catalog-related objects. The catalog APIs that are aimed at end-users return immutable objects. This factory class can also be used to create mutable versions of those objects.

Method Summary
`static Category` | `createCategory(MutableCategory delegate)` Creates an immutable Category object that uses a mutable delegate object.
`static KeywordQuery` | `createKeywordQuery()` Creates a KeywordQuery object.
`static MutableCategory` | `createMutableCategory(Category category, boolean createCE)` Creates a mutable Category object - by copying an immutable object.
`static MutableCategory` | `createMutableCategory(CategoryKey key, boolean createCE)` Creates a mutable Category object for the category with the given key.
`static MutableProductItem` | `createMutableProductItem(ProductItem item, boolean createCE)` Creates a MutableProductItem object based off an imutable object.
`static MutableProductItem` | `createMutableProductItem(ProductItemKey key, boolean createCE)` Creates a MutableProductItem object for the item with the given key.
`static ProductItem` | `createProductItem(MutableProductItem delegate)` Creates a ProductItem object by wrapping a mutable object in an immutable shell so that it is protected from updates.
`static ProductItemQuery` | `createProductItemQuery()` Creates a ProductItemQuery object.

### createMutableCategory

    public static MutableCategory createMutableCategory(Category category,
                                                        boolean createCE)

  Creates a mutable Category object - by copying an immutable object.

### createMutableCategory

    public static MutableCategory createMutableCategory(CategoryKey key,
                                                        boolean createCE)

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key for the object

### createMutableProductItem

    public static MutableProductItem createMutableProductItem(ProductItem item,
                                                              boolean createCE)

  Creates a MutableProductItem object based off an imutable object. The immutable object is copied to ensure the same reference is not modified.

  Parameters:
    `item` - the immutable object

### createMutableProductItem

    public static MutableProductItem createMutableProductItem(ProductItemKey key,
                                                              boolean createCE)
