Metadata_Metamodel_GenericInstantiation

The GenericInstantiation structure describes the type information of a typed element when the type is an instantiation of one of the generic types provided by the infrastructure.

Metadata_Metamodel_GenericInstantiation_GenericType

generic_type

Required

The GenericInstantiation.GenericType enumerated type provides enumeration values for each of the generic types provided by the infrastructure.
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.

Metadata_Metamodel_Type

element_type

Optional

The Type structure describes the type information of a typed element in the interface definiton language. The following elements in the metamodel are typed:

Field element in a structure element. See StructureInfo.fields
Parameter element in an operation element. See OperationInfo.params
Result element in an operation element. See OperationInfo.output The type could be one of the three following categories:
Built-in types: These are types present in the interface definition language type system. They are provided by the infrastructure.
User defined named type: API designers can create custom types and use them for the typed elements. These types have a unique identifier.
Generic type instantiation: The language infrastructure also provides generic types such as list, map, set and so on. An instantiation of one of these generic types could also be used for the typed elements.
