question: gets the value of the sc property . this accessor method returns a reference to the live list , not a snapshot . therefore any modification you make to the returned list will be present inside the jaxb object . this is why there is not a set method for the sc property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getsc . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list servicecontainer concode_field_sep List<ServiceContainer> sc concode_elem_sep String name concode_elem_sep BusSoapNodeConfiguration bussoapnodeconfiguration concode_elem_sep List<WSI> wsi concode_elem_sep Strategy strategy concode_field_sep Strategy getStrategy concode_elem_sep void setName concode_elem_sep void setBussoapnodeconfiguration concode_elem_sep BusSoapNodeConfiguration getBussoapnodeconfiguration concode_elem_sep String getName concode_elem_sep void setStrategy concode_elem_sep List<WSI> getWsi
target: List < ServiceContainer > function ( ) { if ( sc == null ) { sc = new ArrayList < ServiceContainer > ( ) ; } return this . sc ; }
