Interface Property

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleProperty

public interface Property

Interface that represents a property. A property is a list of Values. Values are accessed through an iterator-like method: nextValue(), which returns the next available Value or null if there are no more. Note: Value objects are immutable, unlike DocumentList and Document objects.

The typical pattern for consuming an object that implements this interface is this (disregarding exception handling):

 Property prop = ...
 Value v;
 while ((v = prop.nextValue()) != null) {
   doSomething(v);
 }
 

Since:

1.0
