## Data Object Description

An ArrayUpdateSpec data object type is a common superclass for supporting incremental updates to arrays.

The common code pattern is:

         class MyTypeSpec extrends ArrayUpdateSpec {
               MyTypeInfo info;
         }

The ArrayUpdateSpec contains the following:

- operation: the type of operation being performed.
- removeKey: In the case of a remove operation, the key value that identifies the array to be removed.
