The response from the server is returned through the Rational® CM API back to the client application as a new proxy that contains the requested properties. The property values obtained by the doReadProperties method are stored in the proxy it returns.
After a proxy is populated with properties, the value of these properties can be extracted from the proxy by using either a PropertyName object or the access method defined by the proxy class for the property. The Rational CM API provides getPropertyName methods for each statically-defined property, to get its value from a proxy. See Naming convention for get and set property value methods for more information.
