Method Detail

configure

IUnionValueDescriptorBuilder configure()

Description copied from interface: IValueDescriptor

Creates a new builder pre-configured with the settings of this descriptor. Lets you e.g. add additional properties.

Specified by:

configure in interface IValueDescriptor<Object,IUnionValueBuilder>

Returns:

A new builder pre-configured with the settings of this descriptor.

getBaseType

default EValueType getBaseType()

Description copied from interface: IValueDescriptor

Gets the basic type of the value described by this value descriptor.

Specified by:

getBaseType in interface IValueDescriptor<Object,IUnionValueBuilder>

Returns:

The value's basic type.

getDefaultValueDiscriminator

@Deprecated
Object getDefaultValueDiscriminator()

Deprecated.

Use IValueDescriptor.getDefaultValue(). There is no discriminator anymore.

Gets the discriminator value for the default value.

Returns:

Always null, unless a deprecated legacy method was used to set a default value with a discriminator.

Since:

8.1.0

getDefaultValueUnionMember

@Deprecated
IDiscriminatedUnionMember<?,?> getDefaultValueUnionMember()

Deprecated.

Just use IValueDescriptor.getDefaultValue(). There is no discriminator anymore.

Gets the getDefaultValueDiscriminator() and the IValueDescriptor.getDefaultValue() combined in a IDiscriminatedUnionMember.

Returns:

Always union member with its discriminator being null, unless a deprecated legacy method was used to set a default value with a discriminator.

Since:

8.1.0

getDiscriminatorClass

@Deprecated
Class<?> getDiscriminatorClass()

Deprecated.

There is no discriminator anymore.

Gets the type of the union discriminator.

Returns:

Always Object.class

Since:

8.1.0

getJavaClass

default Class<Object> getJavaClass()

Description copied from interface: IValueDescriptor

Gets the Java class of the values described by this descriptor.

Specified by:

getJavaClass in interface IValueDescriptor<Object,IUnionValueBuilder>

Returns:

The value's Java class.

getUnionValueDescriptorList

List<IValueDescriptor<?,?>> getUnionValueDescriptorList()

Gets a map between each union discriminator and the value descriptor for its value.

Returns:

A map with the union value descriptors.

getUnionValueDescriptors

@Deprecated
Map<?,IValueDescriptor<?,?>> getUnionValueDescriptors()

Deprecated.

Use getUnionValueDescriptorList() instead.

Gets a map between each union discriminator and the value descriptor for its value.

Returns:

Always an empty map, unless a deprecated legacy method was used to set the union value descriptors.

withAddedAttribute
