question: gets the value of the results 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 results property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getresults . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list contact concode_field_sep Integer startIndex concode_elem_sep Integer totalResultSetSize concode_elem_sep List<Contact> results concode_field_sep void setTotalResultSetSize concode_elem_sep Integer getStartIndex concode_elem_sep void setStartIndex concode_elem_sep Integer getTotalResultSetSize
target: List < Contact > function ( ) { if ( results == null ) { results = new ArrayList < Contact > ( ) ; } return this . results ; }
