  • Method Details

    • getPropertyValues

      <T> Collection<ValueOrExpression<T>> getPropertyValues(PropertyDefinition<T> d)
      Get the property values associated with the specified property definition.

      Implementations are not required to validate the values that they provide. Specifically:

      • they do not need to guarantee that the provided values are valid according to the property's syntax
      • they do not need to provide values for mandatory properties
      • they do not need to ensure that single-valued properties do contain at most one value.
      The returned set of values is allowed to contain duplicates.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The underlying type of the property.
      Parameters:
      d - The Property definition.
      Returns:
      Returns a newly allocated set containing a copy of the property's values. An empty set indicates that the property has no values defined and any default behavior is applicable.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If this property provider does not recognise the requested property definition.
