MetadataMetamodelGenericInstantiation

The GenericInstantiation structure describes the type information of a typed element when the type is an instantiation of one of the generic types provided by the infrastructure.

Properties

MetadataMetamodelType

element_type Optional

Type of the element parameter if the generic type instantiation is a LIST, OPTIONAL or SET. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of GenericInstantiation.generic-type is one of LIST, OPTIONAL, or SET.

MetadataMetamodelGenericInstantiationGenericType Enum

generic_type Required

The generic type that is being instantiated.

Possible values are: LIST , MAP , OPTIONAL , SET

MetadataMetamodelType

map_key_type Optional

Type of the key parameter of the map generic type instantiation. The map generic type has a key parameter and value parameter. The type of the value parameter is described by GenericInstantiation.map-value-type.. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of GenericInstantiation.generic-type is MAP.

MetadataMetamodelType

map_value_type Optional

Type of the value parameter of the map generic type instantiation. The map generic type has a key parameter and value parameter. The type of the key parameter is described by GenericInstantiation.map-key-type.. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of GenericInstantiation.generic-type is MAP.
