MetadataResult (Mule API 1.0.0-rc API)

Type Parameters:

T - return type of the Metadata resolving operation.

All Known Implementing Classes:

FailureMetadataResult, SuccessMetadataResult
```
public interface MetadataResult<T>
```
Container for the Metadata fetch operations provided by TypeKeysResolver, InputTypeResolver and OutputTypeResolver results. Allows to communicate errors without propagating exceptions to the Metadata fetching service

Since:

1.0

`static <T> MetadataResult<T>`	`failure(List<MetadataFailure> failures)` Creates a failure `MetadataResult` with a list of associated `MetadataFailure`s.
`static <T> MetadataResult<T>`	`failure(MetadataFailure... failures)` Creates a failure `MetadataResult` with one or more associated `MetadataFailure`s.
`static <T> MetadataResult<T>`	`failure(T result, List<MetadataFailure> failures)` Creates a failure `MetadataResult` with a payload and a list of associated `MetadataFailure`s.
`static <T> MetadataResult<T>`	`failure(T result, MetadataFailure... failures)` Creates a failure `MetadataResult` with a payload and with one or more associated `MetadataFailure`s.
`T`	`get()`
`List<MetadataFailure>`	`getFailures()` If `this#isSuccess` is false, then a `MetadataFailure` instance is provided in order to describe the error that occurred during the invocation.
`boolean`	`isSuccess()`

  - success
```
static <T> MetadataResult<T> success(T payload)
```
    Creates a success MetadataResult.
    
    Parameters:
    
    payload - object returned by the metadata operation
    
    Returns:
    
    a SuccessMetadataResult instance
  - failure
```
static <T> MetadataResult<T> failure(T result,
                                     MetadataFailure... failures)
```
    Creates a failure MetadataResult with a payload and with one or more associated MetadataFailures.
    
    Parameters:
    
    result - the resulting content bounded to this failure result.
    
    failures - one or more MetadataFailures that contains the failure information.
    
    Returns:
    
    a FailureMetadataResult instance.
  - failure
```
static <T> MetadataResult<T> failure(T result,
                                     List<MetadataFailure> failures)
```
    Creates a failure MetadataResult with a payload and a list of associated MetadataFailures.
    
    Parameters:
    
    result - the resulting content bounded to this failure result.
    
    failures - a list of MetadataFailures that contains the failure information.
    
    Returns:
    
    a FailureMetadataResult instance.
  - failure
```
static <T> MetadataResult<T> failure(MetadataFailure... failures)
```
    Creates a failure MetadataResult with one or more associated MetadataFailures.
    
    Parameters:
    
    failures - one or more MetadataFailures that contains the failure information.
    
    Returns:
    
    a FailureMetadataResult instance.
  - failure
```
static <T> MetadataResult<T> failure(List<MetadataFailure> failures)
```
    Creates a failure MetadataResult with a list of associated MetadataFailures.
    
    Parameters:
    
    failures - a list of MetadataFailures that contains the failure information.
    
    Returns:
    
    a FailureMetadataResult instance.
  - get
```
T get()
```
    Returns:
    
    the object returned by the invoked Metadata operation
  - isSuccess
```
boolean isSuccess()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if the operation was completed without errors, false otherwise
  - getFailures
```
List<MetadataFailure> getFailures()
```
    If this#isSuccess is false, then a MetadataFailure instance is provided in order to describe the error that occurred during the invocation.
    
    Returns:
    
    a List of MetadataFailures describing the errors that occurred during the invocation if at least one occurred.
