public interface PrismProperty<T>
extends Item<PrismPropertyValue<T>,PrismPropertyDefinition<T>>

Property is a specific characteristic of an object. It may be considered object "attribute" or "field". For example User has fullName property that contains string value of user's full name.

Properties may be single-valued or multi-valued

Properties may contain primitive types or complex types (defined by XSD schema)

Property values are unordered, implementation may change the order of values

Duplicate values of properties should be silently removed by implementations, but clients must be able tolerate presence of duplicate values.

Operations that modify the objects work with the granularity of properties. They add/remove/replace the values of properties, but do not "see" inside the property.

Property is mutable.

Method Details

getValues

<X> List<PrismPropertyValue<X>> getValues(Class<X> type)

Type override, also for compatibility.

getRealValues

@NotNull
@NotNull Collection<T> getRealValues()

Description copied from interface: Item

Returns (potentially empty) collection of "real values". The list itself is detached, freely modifiable. (Note that the values can still embed a parent, e.g., for containers and references.)

Specified by:

getRealValues in interface Item<PrismPropertyValue<T>,PrismPropertyDefinition<T>>

See Also:

• Item.getRealValue()

getRealValues

@NotNull
<X> @NotNull Collection<X> getRealValues(Class<X> type)

Type override, also for compatibility.

Specified by:

getRealValues in interface Item<PrismPropertyValue<T>,PrismPropertyDefinition<T>>

getAnyRealValue

T getAnyRealValue()

getRealValue

T getRealValue()

Description copied from interface: Item

Returns the "real value" (content) of this item: - value contained in PrismPropertyValue - Referencable in PrismReferenceValue - Containerable in PrismContainerValue - Objectable in PrismObjectValue Note that the real value can contain operational items. It can also contain container IDs (although they are not considered to be part of the real value). It does not contain information about item element name nor other metadata like origin, definition, etc. (Although e.g. Containerable can be converted back into PrismContainerValue that can be used to retrieve this information.)

Specified by:

getRealValue in interface Item<PrismPropertyValue<T>,PrismPropertyDefinition<T>>

getValue

<X> PrismPropertyValue<X> getValue(Class<X> type)

Type override, also for compatibility.

setValue

void setValue(PrismPropertyValue<T> value)

Means as a short-hand for setting just a value for single-valued attributes. Will remove all existing values.

setRealValue

void setRealValue(T realValue)

setRealValues

void setRealValues(T... realValues)

addValues

void addValues(Collection<PrismPropertyValue<T>> pValuesToAdd)
