List<Role>	getRole()	Gets the value of the role property.

Method Details

getRole

List<Role> getRole()

Gets the value of the role property.

This accessor method returns a reference to the live list, not a snapshot. Therefore, any modification made to the returned list will be present inside the object. This is why there is not a set method for the role property.

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

    getRole().add(newItem);
 

Returns:

a list of objects of type Role
