Container
implements the Binding
interface and defines behavior for a binding that can contain other
bindings (usually Property
implementations). It
is used to represent objects which have nested objects.
Examples of bindings that would be containers are Java custom objects
with properties. However, Java objects that are pre-defined types
but can contain other objects, such as a List
, would not
be containers, as their contents cannot be controlled in as fine-grained
a fashion as custom objects can.

public void addProperty(Property property)
This will add a Property
to
the member variables of this Container
.
It is important to note that this is simply an instance variable being added to (in most cases) a custom Java class definition. That variable/property doesn't have a value (although it might have a default value) until marshalling and unmarshalling occurs.
Property
to add.public void clearProperties()
This will clear all the properties for this Container
.
public List getProperties()
This will return a list of all the
Property
objects that
this Container
has. If there are
none, this will return an empty List
.
