Method Detail

getProperty

ElementPropertyInfo<T,C> getProperty()
Gets the object that represents the value property.

Returns:
non-null.

getContentType

NonElement<T,C> getContentType()
Short for getProperty().ref().get(0). The type of the value this element holds. Normally, this is the T of JAXBElement<T>. But if the property is adapted, this is the on-the-wire type. Or if the element has a list of values, then this field represents the type of the individual item.

See Also:
getContentInMemoryType()

getContentInMemoryType

T getContentInMemoryType()
T of JAXBElement<T>.

This is tied to the in-memory representation.

See Also:
getContentType()

getType

T getType()
Returns the representation for JAXBElement<contentInMemoryType>.

This returns the signature in Java and thus isn't affected by the adapter.

Specified by:
getType in interface TypeInfo<T,C>
Returns:
always non-null.

getSubstitutionHead

ElementInfo<T,C> getSubstitutionHead()
Description copied from interface: Element
If this element can substitute another element, return that element.

Substitutability of elements are transitive.

Specified by:
getSubstitutionHead in interface Element<T,C>
Returns:
null if no such element exists.

getSubstitutionMembers

java.util.Collection<? extends ElementInfo<T,C>> getSubstitutionMembers()
All the ElementInfos whose getSubstitutionHead() points to this object.

Returns:
can be empty but never null.
