Container
implements the
interface and defines behavior for a binding that can contain other
bindings (usually Binding
implementations). It
is used to represent objects which have nested objects.
Property
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
to
the member variables of this Property
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
- Property
to add.public boolean removeProperty(java.lang.String propertyName)
This will remove a
from this Property
Container
, given the
property's name. If a successful removal occurs,
the boolean value true
is retruned.
If no Property
is found with the supplied
name, the boolean value
false
is returned.
propertyName
- String
name of
Property
to remove.boolean
- indicates whether
the specified named Property
was found and removed.public java.util.List getProperties()
This will return a list of all the
objects that
this Property
Container
has. If there are
none, this will return an empty List
.
List
- properties for this
Container
.public void clearProperties()
