This example shows how to find an item by using the item name and then how to change the name and description of the retrieved item.

This example uses the steps that are described in the Edit the Settings of a Library Item procedure.

Note: For related code samples, see the vsphere-automation-sdk-java VMware repository at GitHub.

// List the items in a published library
     Item libItemService = this.vapiAuthHelper.getStubFactory().createStub(Item.class, sessionStubconfig);

     for (String itemId : itemIds) {
         ItemModel singleItem = libItemService.get(itemId);

// Change the name and description of the library item with the specified name
