Method Detail

getOwnAdaptationValue

public Object getOwnAdaptationValue()

Returns the own value hold by this node. There are three possibilities:

1. If value is not present (in the sense that this node inherits actual value), it returns AdaptationValue.INHERIT_VALUE.
2. If value is present and not null, it returns this value (it is an instance of the node's type).
3. If value is present and null, it returns null.
