createObjectInSession() Method

In CatalogService, use the createObjectInSession() method to create a Publisher object in catalog for a given user.

Tip:

If you have extensively used the createObject() or createObjectInSession() methods to dynamically create catalog objects, after the catalog objects are no longer required, clean up the catalog using deleteObject() or deleteObjectInSession() methods. Otherwise, the accumulation of the dynamically created catalog objects might cause severe catalog performance degradation issues.
