Element

public Element()

Method Detail

getIdElement

public IdType getIdElement()

Returns:

id (unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references).). This is the underlying object with id, value and extensions. The accessor "getId" gives direct access to the value

hasIdElement

public boolean hasIdElement()

hasId

public boolean hasId()

setIdElement

public Element setIdElement(IdType value)

Parameters:

value - id (unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references).). This is the underlying object with id, value and extensions. The accessor "getId" gives direct access to the value

getId

public String getId()

Returns:

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references).

setId

public Element setId(String value)

Parameters:

value - unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references).

getExtension

public List<Extension> getExtension()

Specified by:

getExtension in interface IBaseHasExtensions

Returns:

extension (May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.)

hasExtension

public boolean hasExtension()

addExtension

public Extension addExtension()

Specified by:

addExtension in interface IBaseHasExtensions

Returns:

extension (May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.)

addExtension

public Element addExtension(Extension t)

getExtensionsByUrl

public List<Extension> getExtensionsByUrl(String theUrl)

Returns an unmodifiable list containing all extensions on this element which match the given URL.

Parameters:

theUrl - The URL. Must not be blank or null.

Returns:

an unmodifiable list containing all extensions on this element which match the given URL

copy

public abstract Element copy()

copyValues

public void copyValues(Element dst)

equalsDeep

public boolean equalsDeep(Base other)

Overrides:

equalsDeep in class Base

equalsShallow

public boolean equalsShallow(Base other)

Overrides:

equalsShallow in class Base

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface IBase

Overrides:

isEmpty in class Base
