        the value of this field on the given fact.
      • getIndex

        int getIndex()
        Returns the index of this field in the field list for the defining fact type. The list (and thus the index) takes into account the fields inherited from the parent class, if any.
        Returns:
        the index of this field in the defining type
      • getFieldAnnotations

        java.util.List<Annotation> getFieldAnnotations()

        Returns:
        the list of field-level annotations
      • getMetaData

        java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​java.lang.Object> getMetaData()
        Returns the annotations of this field definition as key-value pairs.
        Returns:
        a key-value map of the field-level annotations
