Method Detail

getInstanceClassName

java.lang.String getInstanceClassName()

Returns the value of the 'Instance Class Name' attribute.

It represents the name of the Java instance class that this meta object represents.

Returns:

the value of the 'Instance Class Name' attribute.

setInstanceClassName

void setInstanceClassName(java.lang.String value)

Sets the value of the 'Instance Class Name' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Instance Class Name' attribute.

getInstanceClass

java.lang.Class<?> getInstanceClass()

Returns the value of the 'Instance Class' attribute.

It represents the actual Java instance class that this meta object represents.

Returns:

setInstanceClass

void setInstanceClass(java.lang.Class<?> value)

Sets the value of the 'Instance Class' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Instance Class' attribute.

getInstanceClass()

getDefaultValue

java.lang.Object getDefaultValue()

Returns the value of the 'Default Value' attribute.

The default value for the type, in the Java sense. For primitive types, it will be the Java primitive default wrapped appropriately. For enums, it will be the first enumerator. And for all other types derived from java.lang.Object, it will be null.

Returns:

the value of the 'Default Value' attribute.
