_extends

           date="2025-09-10T09:00:07+01:00")
protected ElementRef _extends

Reference to a type (called the base-type) that is extended by the current type (called the subtype). This implements the typical is-a inheritance relationship, similar to the extends relations in XSD and Java, the generaliation in UML, or the subclassOf relation in RDF. Note, VO-DML does not support multiple inheritance. Instances of a subtype are automatic instances of a base type. Polymorphism is assumed: When a role (see below) defines a base type as its datatype, instances of any subtype can be uased as value of the role. Roles defined on a base type are inherited by the subtypes. Relations inherited from a basetype can be 'subsetted', which is similar to overriding their definition. See the definiton of this property on the Relation type.

           date="2025-09-10T09:00:07+01:00")
public ElementRef getExtends()

Reference to a type (called the base-type) that is extended by the current type (called the subtype). This implements the typical is-a inheritance relationship, similar to the extends relations in XSD and Java, the generaliation in UML, or the subclassOf relation in RDF. Note, VO-DML does not support multiple inheritance. Instances of a subtype are automatic instances of a base type. Polymorphism is assumed: When a role (see below) defines a base type as its datatype, instances of any subtype can be uased as value of the role. Roles defined on a base type are inherited by the subtypes. Relations inherited from a basetype can be 'subsetted', which is similar to overriding their definition. See the definiton of this property on the Relation type.

Returns:

possible object is ElementRef

setExtends

@Generated(value="com.sun.tools.xjc.Driver",

           date="2025-09-10T09:00:07+01:00")
public void setExtends(ElementRef value)

Sets the value of the extends property.

Parameters:

value - allowed object is ElementRef

getConstraints

@Generated(value="com.sun.tools.xjc.Driver",
           comments="JAXB RI v4.0.4",
           date="2025-09-10T09:00:07+01:00")
public List<Constraint> getConstraints()

Constraints defining valid instances of the type. May be an AttributeConstraint or an expression in some language. Gets the value of the constraints 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 constraints property.

For example, to add a new item, do as follows:

 getConstraints().add(newItem);
 

Objects of the following type(s) are allowed in the list Constraint

Returns:

The value of the constraints property.

isAbstract

           date="2025-09-10T09:00:07+01:00")
public Boolean isAbstract()

Gets the value of the abstract property.

Returns:

possible object is Boolean
