Returns:

createDataClass

public static <T extends DataClass> T createDataClass(java.lang.String smartClientClassName,
                                                      com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject javaScriptObject,
                                                      boolean createDefault)

createBaseClass

public static <T extends BaseClass> T createBaseClass(java.lang.String smartClientClassName,
                                                      com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject javaScriptObject,
                                                      boolean createDefault)

createInstance

getSmartGWTClassFQN
```
public static final java.lang.String getSmartGWTClassFQN(java.lang.String smartClientClassName)
```
The SmartClient class name used to lookup the corresponding SmartGWT class, which is then returned. Because this method is generic you can return whatever type you'are expecting. So it is completely appropriate to do the following, as no casting is necessary. Button myButton = ObjectRegistry.getSmartGWTClass("Button");
Parameters: smartClientClassName - Returns: SmartGWT class or null

     getSmartGWTClass
 public static final java.lang.Class<?> getSmartGWTClass(java.lang.String smartClientClassName)
 This method is a convenience for calling @{link #getSmartGWTClass}.getName();
  Parameters:
 smartClientClassName - 
 Returns:
 SmartGWT class fully qualified name or null
