gets the value of the format 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 format property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getformat . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list ctformat concode_field_sep Object parent concode_elem_sep List<CTFormat> format concode_elem_sep Long count concode_field_sep Object getParent concode_elem_sep void afterUnmarshal concode_elem_sep void setParent concode_elem_sep long getCount concode_elem_sep void setCount
List < CTFormat > function ( ) { if ( format == null ) { format = new ArrayList < CTFormat > ( ) ; } return this . format ; }
