Method Detail

getCompileTimeClass

@Nullable
@Nullable Class<?> getCompileTimeClass()

Returns compile-time class, if this type has any. For example, UserType.class, ObjectType.class, ExtensionType.class.

getSuperType

@Nullable
@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
@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)

isAssignableFrom

@Experimental
default boolean isAssignableFrom(TypeDefinition other,
                                 SchemaRegistry registry)

Returns:

True if variables of this type can be assigned value of specified other type, i.e. if this type is equal or supertype of the other type.
