All Known Subinterfaces:
IBoundFieldValue, IBoundInstance<ITEM>, IBoundInstanceFlag, IBoundInstanceModel<ITEM>, IBoundInstanceModelAssembly, IBoundInstanceModelChoiceGroup, IBoundInstanceModelField<ITEM>, IBoundInstanceModelFieldComplex, IBoundInstanceModelFieldScalar, IBoundInstanceModelNamed<ITEM>, IBoundProperty<ITEM>
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public interface IFeatureJavaField extends IValuedMutable
Provides access to a Java field that is bound to a Metaschema instance.

  • Method Details

    • getField

      @NonNull Field getField()
      Gets the bound Java field associated with this instance.
      Returns:
      the Java field

    • getType

      @NonNull default Type getType()
      Get the actual Java type of the underlying bound object.

      This may be the same as the what is returned by getItemType(), or may be a Java collection class.

      Returns:
      the raw type of the bound object

    • getItemType

      @NonNull default Class<?> getItemType()
      Get the item type of the bound object. An item type is the primitive or specialized type that represents that data associated with this binding.
      Returns:
      the item type of the bound object

    • getValue

      default Object getValue(@NonNull Object parent)
      Description copied from interface: IValued
      Get the current value from the provided parentInstance object.

      The provided object must be of the type associated with the definition containing this instance.

      Specified by:
      getValue in interface IValued
      Parameters:
      parent - the object associated with the definition containing this property
      Returns:
      the value if available, or null otherwise

    • setValue

      default void setValue(@NonNull Object parentObject, Object value)
      Description copied from interface: IValuedMutable
      Set the provided value on the provided object. The provided object must be of the item's type associated with this instance.
      Specified by:
      setValue in interface IValuedMutable
      Parameters:
      parentObject - the object
      value - a value, which may be a simple Type or a ParameterizedType for a collection
