gets the value of the nilreason 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 nilreason property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getnilreason . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list string concode_field_sep BigInteger integer concode_elem_sep List<String> nilReason concode_field_sep void setInteger concode_elem_sep BigInteger getInteger
List < String > function ( ) { if ( nilReason == null ) { nilReason = new ArrayList < String > ( ) ; } return this . nilReason ; }
