question: gets the value of the specialservicetypes 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 specialservicetypes property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getspecialservicetypes . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list consolidationspecialservicetype concode_field_sep List<ConsolidationSpecialServiceType> specialServiceTypes concode_elem_sep PriorityAlertDetail priorityAlertDetail concode_field_sep PriorityAlertDetail getPriorityAlertDetail concode_elem_sep void setPriorityAlertDetail
target: List < ConsolidationSpecialServiceType > function ( ) { if ( specialServiceTypes == null ) { specialServiceTypes = new ArrayList < ConsolidationSpecialServiceType > ( ) ; } return this . specialServiceTypes ; }
