Method Details
-
getElements
Returns the information about the possible elements in this property.As of 2004/08/17, the spec only allows you to use different element names when a property is a collection, but I think there's really no reason to limit it there --- if the user wants to use a different tag name for different objects, I don't see why this can be limited to collections.
So this is a generalization of the spec. We always allow a property to have multiple types and use different tag names for it, depending on the actual type.
In most of the cases, this collection only contains 1 item. So the runtime system is encouraged to provide a faster code-path that is optimized toward such cases.
- Returns:
- Always non-null. Contains at least one entry.
-
ref
Collection<? extends TypeInfo<T,C>> ref()List ofTypeInfo
s that this property references. This allows the caller to traverse the reference graph without getting into the details of each different property type.. If thisReferencePropertyInfo
has a wildcard in it, then the returned list will containWildcardTypeInfo
.- Specified by:
ref
in interfacePropertyInfo<T,
C> - Returns:
- non-null read-only collection.
-
getXmlName
QName getXmlName()Gets the wrapper element name.- Returns:
- must be null if not collection. If the property is a collection, this can be null (in which case there'll be no wrapper), or it can be non-null (in which case there'll be a wrapper)
-
isCollectionNillable
boolean isCollectionNillable()Returns true if this property is nillable (meaning the absence of the value is treated as nil='true')This method is only used when this property is a collection.
-
isCollectionRequired
boolean isCollectionRequired()Checks if the wrapper element is required.- Returns:
- Always false if
getXmlName()
==null.
-
isMixed
boolean isMixed()Returns true if this property can holdString
s to represent mixed content model. -
getWildcard
WildcardMode getWildcard()If this property supports the wildcard, returns its mode.- Returns:
- null if the wildcard is not allowed on this element.
-
getDOMHandler
C getDOMHandler()If this property supports the wildcard, returns its DOM handler.- Returns:
- null if the wildcard is not allowed on this element.
-
isRequired
boolean isRequired()Returns true if this element is mandatory. -
getAdapter
- Specified by:
getAdapter
in interfacePropertyInfo<T,
C> - Returns:
- null if the property is not adapted.
