Class DataProperty

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.datamodels.DataProperty
All Implemented Interfaces:
AutoCloseable
public final class DataProperty extends Object implements AutoCloseable
Represents a property of a DataType.

A property has a name, a value type and a collection type. The value type indicates whether the value is a simple primitive or another data object. The collection type indicates whether the property holds a single value or a list of values of the value type (see DataCollectionKind).

Additional metadata can be attached to a property in the form of a DataAnnotation (see getAnnotations()).

New properties can be defined using a DataProperty.Builder (see newBuilder()).

Instances of this class are thread-safe. Once an instance has been created, there is no public API to modify it.
