public interface PropertyMetaData

extends Belonging

The PropertyMetaData is a Belonging that contains the meta data that describes a property that can be set on a ConfigurableEntity. The property name is not part of the class because it is stored as a key in the Map the Schema owns. Attribute: description Description is a textual description of the property.

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1

Attribute: isExplicit Specifies whether the property is defined as a field of the ConfigurableEntity concrete implementation or as a dynamic property on the ConfigurableEntity. If isExplicit is set to true, it indicates that the property is defined as a regular data field. If isExplicit is set to false, it indicates a dynamic property.

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1

Attribute: isMultiValued Specifies whether the property is single-valued or multi-valued. A multi-valued property supports a collection as its associated value.

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1

Attribute: isRestricted Specifies whether the values that can be associated with this property are restricted or not. Restricted property values are restricted to values listed in the restricted values. Unrestricted property values have no such limitation.

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1

Attribute: propertyType

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1

Attribute: type Type is the data type of the property value. * @see com.beasys.commerce.util.TypesHelper
