Method Detail

getType

DataType getType()

Returns the type of the operation

Returns:

a not null DataType

isRequired

boolean isRequired()

Whether or not this parameter is required. This method is exclusive with getDefaultValue() in the sense that a required parameter cannot have a default value. At the same time, if the parameter has a default value, then it makes no sense to consider it as required

Returns:

a boolean value saying if this parameter is required or not

isDynamic

boolean isDynamic()

A parameter is considered to be dynamic if it's value can change in runtime depending on contextual circumstances. E.g.: the parameter value is a MEL expression or can be dynamically changed by a third party

Returns:

getDefaultValue

Object getDefaultValue()

The default value for this parameter. It might be an expression if isDynamic() returns true. This method is exclusive with isRequired(). Check that method's comments for more information on the semantics of this two methods.

Returns:

the default value
