gets the value of the attributes property . this accessor method returns a reference to the live list , not a snapshot . therefore any modification you make to the returned list will be present inside the jaxb object . this is why there is not a set method for the attributes property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getattributes . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list feedattribute concode_field_sep SystemFeedGenerationData systemFeedGenerationData concode_elem_sep FeedOrigin origin concode_elem_sep String name concode_elem_sep List<FeedAttribute> attributes concode_elem_sep Long id concode_elem_sep FeedStatus status concode_field_sep void setName concode_elem_sep String getName concode_elem_sep FeedOrigin getOrigin concode_elem_sep void setSystemFeedGenerationData concode_elem_sep void setOrigin concode_elem_sep void setId concode_elem_sep Long getId concode_elem_sep FeedStatus getStatus concode_elem_sep SystemFeedGenerationData getSystemFeedGenerationData concode_elem_sep void setStatus
