Method Detail

getAllowedValues

@Nullable
@Nullable Collection<? extends DisplayableValue<T>> getAllowedValues()

Returns allowed values for this property.

defaultValue

@Nullable
T defaultValue()

TODO is this ever used?

isIndexed

Boolean isIndexed()

This is XSD annotation that specifies whether a property should be indexed in the storage. It can only apply to properties. It has following meaning: true: the property must be indexed. If the storage is not able to index the value, it should indicate an error. false: the property should not be indexed. null: data store decides whether to index the property or not.

isAnyType

default boolean isAnyType()

getMatchingRuleQName

QName getMatchingRuleQName()

Returns matching rule name. Matching rules are algorithms that specify how to compare, normalize and/or order the values. E.g. there are matching rules for case insensitive string comparison, for LDAP DNs, etc.

Returns:

matching rule name

createEmptyDelta

@NotNull
@NotNull PropertyDelta<T> createEmptyDelta(ItemPath path)

Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition

Creates an empty delta (with appropriate implementation class), pointing to this item definition, with a given path.

Specified by:

createEmptyDelta in interface ItemDefinition<T>

instantiate

@NotNull
@NotNull PrismProperty<T> instantiate()

Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition

Create an item instance. Definition name or default name will be used as an element name for the instance. The instance will otherwise be empty.

Specified by:

instantiate in interface ItemDefinition<T>

instantiate

@NotNull
@NotNull PrismProperty<T> instantiate(QName name)

Description copied from interface: ItemDefinition

Create an item instance. Definition name will use provided name. for the instance. The instance will otherwise be empty.

Specified by:

instantiate in interface ItemDefinition<T>

clone

@NotNull
@NotNull PrismPropertyDefinition<T> clone()

Specified by:

clone in interface Definition

Specified by:

clone in interface ItemDefinition<T>

getTypeClass

Class<T> getTypeClass()

Description copied from interface: Definition

Returns a compile-time class that is used to represent items. E.g. returns String, Integer, subclasses of Objectable and Containerable and so on.

Specified by:

getTypeClass in interface Definition

toMutable

MutablePrismPropertyDefinition<T> toMutable()

Description copied from interface: Definition

Returns an interface to mutate this definition.

Specified by:

toMutable in interface Definition

Specified by:

toMutable in interface ItemDefinition<T>
