Attributes:
Name Type Required Description
generic_type
 *
 com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel.generic_instantiation.generic_type Yes The generic type that is being instantiated.
The generic_type enumerated type provides enumeration values for each of the generic types provided by the infrastructure.
Values one of
LIST: Indicates the generic type is a list.
MAP: Indicates the generic type is a map.
OPTIONAL: Indicates the generic type is an optional.
SET: Indicates the generic type is a set.
element_type type No. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of generic_type is one of LIST, OPTIONAL, or SET. Type of the element parameter if the generic type instantiation is a LIST, OPTIONAL or SET. Required if generic_type has value [LIST, OPTIONAL, SET].
map_key_type type No. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of generic_type is MAP. Type of the key parameter of the map generic type instantiation. The map generic type has a key parameter and value parameter. The type of the value parameter is described by com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel.generic_instantiation.map_value_type.. Required if generic_type has value MAP.
map_value_type type No. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of generic_type is MAP. Type of the value parameter of the map generic type instantiation. The map generic type has a key parameter and value parameter. The type of the key parameter is described by com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel.generic_instantiation.map_key_type.. Required if generic_type has value MAP.
