2.5. Getting a Resource

In the Java Software Development Kit, resources can be referred to via two attributes: name, and UUID. Both return an object with the specified attribute if that object exists.

To get a resource using the value of the name attribute:

VM vm = api.getVMs().get("test");

To get a resource using the value of the UUID attribute:

VM vm = api.getVMs().get(UUID.fromString("5a89a1d2-32be-33f7-a0d1-f8b5bc974ff6"));
