isMasked

public boolean isMasked()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDefinition

The "masked" flag is used to tell whether the value should be masked when displayed to users.

Specified by:

Returns:

true if this property value is to be masked, or false otherwise.

isModifiable

public boolean isModifiable()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDefinition

The modifiable flag is used to identify features that may not be changed once they are set.

Specified by:

isModifiable in interface PropertyDefinition

Returns:

true if this property is marked with the modifyable flag, or false otherwise.

See Also:

PropertyDefinition.isModifiable()

isRequired

public boolean isRequired()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDefinition

The "required" flag is used to identify features that require at least one value (possibly a default value) by the consumer of the property. Whether a property definition is required or not can be determined entirely from the multiplicity: if the multiplicity includes '0', then the property is not required.

Whether a property is required by the consumer is unrelated to whether there is a default value, which only simplifies the task of the property provider. A property may be required, meaning it must have at least one value, but that same property definition may or may not have a default. The combination of required and whether it has a default will determine whether the user must supply a value.

Specified by:

isRequired in interface PropertyDefinition

Returns:

true if this property requires at least one value.

See Also:

PropertyDefinition.isRequired()
