    public abstract class DefinitionImpl
extends Object
implements MutableDefinition
    Abstract definition in the schema. This is supposed to be a superclass for all definitions. It defines common properties for all definitions. The definitions represent data structures of the schema. Therefore instances of Java objects from this class represent specific definitions from the schema, not specific properties or objects. E.g the definitions does not have any value. To transform definition to a real property or object use the explicit instantiate() methods provided in the definition classes. E.g. the instantiate() method will create instance of Property using appropriate PropertyDefinition. The convenience methods in Schema are using this abstract class to find appropriate definitions easily.

      • isRuntimeSchema

        protected boolean isRuntimeSchema
        This means that this particular definition (of an item or of a type) is part of the runtime schema, e.g. extension schema, resource schema or connector schema or something like that. I.e. it is not defined statically.

      • emphasized

        protected boolean emphasized
        Set true for definitions that are more important than others and that should be emphasized during presentation. E.g. the emphasized definitions will always be displayed in the user interfaces (even if they are empty), they will always be included in the dumps, etc.

      • getTypeName

        @NotNull
public QName getTypeName()
        Description copied from interface: Definition
        Returns a name of the type for this definition. The type can be part of the compile-time schema or it can be defined at run time. Examples of the former case are types like c:UserType, xsd:string, or even flexible ones like c:ExtensionType or c:ShadowAttributesType. Examples of the latter case are types used in - custom extensions, like ext:LocationsType (where ext = e.g. http://example.com/extension), - resource schema, like ri:inetOrgPerson (ri = http://.../resource/instance-3), - connector schema, like TODO In XML representation that corresponds to the name of the XSD type. Although beware, the run-time types do not have statically defined structure. And the resource and connector-related types may even represent different kinds of objects within different contexts (e.g. two distinct resources both with ri:AccountObjectClass types). Also note that for complex type definitions, the type name serves as a unique identifier. On the other hand, for item definitions, it is just one of its attributes; primary key is item name in that case. The type name should be fully qualified. (TODO reconsider this)
        Specified by:
        getTypeName in interface Definition
        Returns:
        the type name

      • isIgnored

        public boolean isIgnored()
        Description copied from interface: Definition
        Item definition that has this flag set should be ignored by any processing. The ignored item is still part of the schema. Item instances may appear in the serialized data formats (e.g. XML) or data store and the parser should not raise an error if it encounters them. But any high-level processing code should ignore presence of this item. E.g. it should not be displayed to the user, should not be present in transformed data structures, etc. Note that the same item can be ignored at higher layer (e.g. presentation) but not ignored at lower layer (e.g. model). This works by presenting different item definitions for these layers (see LayerRefinedAttributeDefinition). Semantics of this flag for complex type definitions is to be defined yet.

      • getPlannedRemoval

        public String getPlannedRemoval()
        Description copied from interface: Definition
        Version of data model in which the item is likely to be removed. This annotation is used for deprecated item to indicate imminent incompatibility in future versions of data model.

      • isElaborate

        public boolean isElaborate()
        Description copied from interface: Definition
        Elaborate items are complicated data structure that may deviate from normal principles of the system. For example elaborate items may not be supported in user interface and may only be manageable by raw edits or a special-purpose tools. Elaborate items may be not fully supported by authorizations, schema tools and so on.

        public <A> A getAnnotation​(QName qname)
        Description copied from interface: Definition

E.g. a prims "bean" (JAXB annotated class), prism item, prism value or something like that. EXPERIMENTAL. Hic sunt liones. This may change at any moment. Note: annotations are only partially supported now (3.8). They are somehow transient. E.g. they are not serialized to XSD schema definitions (yet).
