Method Detail

getElement

public Element getElement()

Description copied from interface: ElementValue

getElement in interface ElementValue

Returns:

Type

See Also:

ElementValue.getElement()

getValue

public Object getValue()

Description copied from interface: ElementValue

This returns the realized value of an element which was associated with this type. We recommend that this value be realized prior to the first request for the value (use this object to cache the result). If you do chose to implement this method lazily, consider caching the result as it may be called more than once, expecting the same result both times.

Specified by:

getValue in interface ElementValue

Returns:

Object (may be null)
