@Override

Returns the information about the types allowed in this property.

In a simple case like the following, an element property only has one TypeRef that points to String and tag name "foo".

@XmlElement
String abc;

However, in a general case an element property can be heterogeneous, meaning you can put different types in it, each with a different tag name (and a few other settings.)

// list can contain String or Integer.
@XmlElements({
  @XmlElement(name="a",type=String.class),
  @XmlElement(name="b",type=Integer.class),
})
List<Object> abc;

In this case this method returns a list of two TypeRefs.

Returns:List<? extends TypeRef<T, C>>

Always non-null. Contains at least one entry. If isValueList()==true, there's always exactly one type.

Gets the wrapper element name.

Returns:QName

must be null if isCollection()==false or if isValueList()==true. Otherwise, this can be null (in which case there'll be no wrapper), or it can be non-null (in which case there'll be a wrapper)

Returns true if this property is nillable (meaning the absence of the value is treated as nil='true')

This method is only used when this property is a collection.

Checks if the wrapper element is required.

Returns:boolean

Always false if getXmlName()==null.

Returns true if this element is mandatory. For collections, this property isn't used.

Returns true if this property is a collection but its XML representation is a list of values, not repeated elements.

If isCollection()==false, this property is always false.

When this flag is true, getTypes().size()==1 always holds.
