Description

... such that this would be an error, showing up as a ValidationFailure in the MetaModelValidator:

// {{ Gender (attribute)
private PersonGenderType gender;

@MemberOrder(sequence = "4")
public PersonGenderType getGender()

{ return gender; }

public void setGender(final PersonGenderType gender) { this.gender = gender; }

// }}




but this would be ok, because the programmer has provided an explicit default method:

// {{ Gender (attribute)
private PersonGenderType gender;

@MemberOrder(sequence = "4")
public PersonGenderType getGender() { return gender; }

public void setGender(final PersonGenderType gender)

{ this.gender = gender; }

public PersonGenderType defaultGender() { return PersonGenderType.UNKNOWN; }
// }}




and this would be ok, because the property is optional

// {{ Gender (attribute)
private PersonGenderType gender;

@MemberOrder(sequence = "4")
@Optional
public PersonGenderType getGender() { return gender; }

public void setGender(final PersonGenderType gender) { this.gender = gender; }

// }}
