question: gets the value of the signatureproperties 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 signatureproperties property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getsignatureproperties . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list signatureproperty concode_field_sep List<SignatureProperty> signatureProperties concode_elem_sep String id concode_field_sep void setId concode_elem_sep String getId
target: List < SignatureProperty > function ( ) { if ( signatureProperties == null ) { signatureProperties = new ArrayList < SignatureProperty > ( ) ; } return this . signatureProperties ; }
