- Method Detail
  - getCompileTimeClass
```
@Nullable
Class<?> getCompileTimeClass()
```
    Returns compile-time class, if this type has any. For example, UserType.class, ObjectType.class, ExtensionType.class.
  - getSuperType
```
@Nullable
QName getSuperType()
```
    Name of super type of this complex type definition. E.g. c:ObjectType is a super type for c:FocusType which is a super type for c:UserType. Or (more complex example) ri:ShadowAttributesType is a super type of ri:AccountObjectClass. (TODO is this really true?)
  - getStaticSubTypes
```
@NotNull
Collection<TypeDefinition> getStaticSubTypes()
```
    Subtypes - but only these that are a part of the static schema. A little bit experimental. :)
  - getInstantiationOrder
```
Integer getInstantiationOrder()
```
  - canRepresent
```
boolean canRepresent(QName typeName)
```
