ResolveNames
============

.. java:package:: org.caosdb.server.jobs.core
   :noindex:

.. java:type:: public class ResolveNames extends ContainerJob

   Resolve the names to ids for all entities in the current retrieval.

   If an entity has a name which looks like an id: Check whether that is an existing id first.

   Otherwise, search via the name.

   It there are multiple matching entities, add all of them to the current container. The clients may handle the ambiguity.
