  This method updates an existing object class in a single transaction. The changed object class attributes will be updated accordingly, including changed property definitions and property choices. This is a less granular way of performing actions like createPropertyDefinition, renameType and updatePropertyDefiniton. The object class is assumed to be retrieved from this API and therefore properly formed when this call is made. Therefore if this method is called and some property definitions are not specified, those definitions values will be removed. The following object class attributes are cannot be modified via this API: path (modifying the parent will cause the object class path to be updated properly).

  Parameters
    `objectClass` - The object class to update.
  Returns
    The updated objectClass
  Throws
    `AuthenticationException`
    `AuthorizationException` - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized to perform it.
    `RepositoryException` - - if error occurs during the update operation.
