- If the input is string, it is assumed to be a UUID. Then, the object is fetched from persistence.
- If the input is array, we check if it has an identity property.
- If the input has NO identity property, but additional properties, we create a new object and return it.
However, we only do this if the configuration option "CONFIGURATION_CREATION_ALLOWED" is TRUE.
- If the input has an identity property AND the configuration option "CONFIGURATION_IDENTITY_CREATION_ALLOWED" is set,
we fetch the object from persistent or create a new object if none was found and then set the sub-properties.
- If the input has an identity property and NO additional properties, we fetch the object from persistence.
- If the input has an identity property AND additional properties, we fetch the object from persistence,
and set the sub-properties. We only do this if the configuration option "CONFIGURATION_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED" is TRUE.
