question: gets the value of the eipeligibleplantypes 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 eipeligibleplantypes property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : geteipeligibleplantypes . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list string concode_field_sep Boolean eipEligibile concode_elem_sep List<String> eipEligiblePlanTypes concode_elem_sep XMLGregorianCalendar eipEligibleDate concode_elem_sep long serialVersionUID concode_elem_sep String msisdn concode_field_sep XMLGregorianCalendar getEipEligibleDate concode_elem_sep void setEipEligibile concode_elem_sep String getMsisdn concode_elem_sep void setEipEligibleDate concode_elem_sep void setMsisdn concode_elem_sep Boolean isEipEligibile
target: List < String > function ( ) { if ( eipEligiblePlanTypes == null ) { eipEligiblePlanTypes = new ArrayList < String > ( ) ; } return this . eipEligiblePlanTypes ; }
