MultiValuePropertyDescriptor (PMD Core 7.0.0-rc1 API)

Type Parameters:

V - The type of value this descriptor works with. This is the type of the list's component.

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<PropertyDescriptor<?>>, PropertyDescriptor<List<V>>

All Known Implementing Classes:

BooleanMultiProperty, CharacterMultiProperty, DoubleMultiProperty, EnumeratedMultiProperty, FloatMultiProperty, IntegerMultiProperty, LongMultiProperty, StringMultiProperty
```
@Deprecated
public interface MultiValuePropertyDescriptor<V>
extends PropertyDescriptor<List<V>>
```
Deprecated.
The hard divide between multi- and single-value properties will be removed with 7.0.0

Specializes property descriptors for multi valued descriptors. For this type of property, the return value of the type() method must be the class literal of the type parameter of this interface, which is the type of the components of the list (not the type of the list). Notice that for implementors, the type parameter of this interface is not the same as the type parameter of PropertyDescriptor they inherit!

Since:

6.0.0

    Return the character being used to delimit multiple property values within a single string. You must ensure that this character does not appear within any rule property values to avoid deserialization errors.

    Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor
    
    Denotes the value datatype. For multi value properties, this is not the List class but the list's component class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    type in interface PropertyDescriptor<V>
    
    Returns:
    
    Class literal of the value type
