gets the value of the entityresult 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 entityresult property . for example , to add a new item , do as follows : getentityresult . add newitem ; objects of the following type s are allowed in the list entityresult concode_field_sep List<EntityResult> entityResult concode_elem_sep String name concode_elem_sep String description concode_elem_sep List<ColumnResult> columnResult concode_field_sep void setName concode_elem_sep String getName concode_elem_sep List<ColumnResult> getColumnResult concode_elem_sep void setDescription concode_elem_sep String getDescription
List < EntityResult > function ( ) { if ( entityResult == null ) { entityResult = new ArrayList < EntityResult > ( ) ; } return this . entityResult ; }
