question: gets the value of the item 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 item property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getitem . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list checkitem concode_field_sep List<CheckItem> item concode_elem_sep Boolean replaceAll concode_field_sep void setReplaceAll concode_elem_sep boolean isReplaceAll
target: List < CheckItem > function ( ) { if ( item == null ) { item = new ArrayList < CheckItem > ( ) ; } return this . item ; }
