Methods
-------
handleRetrieveContainer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: protected void handleRetrieveContainer(RetrieveContainer container)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: @Override protected final Representation httpGetInChildClass() throws ConnectionException, IOException, SQLException, CaosDBException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, Exception
   :outertype: RetrieveEntityResource
