218 The type method must be set for all child classes.
219 The value returned by it should be the DBIC resultset name.
220 For example, for holds, type should return 'Reserve'.

228 This method must be set for all child classes.
229 The value returned by it should be the name of the Koha
230 object class that is returned by this class.
231 For example, for holds, object_class should return 'Koha::Hold'.
