    Description
    Class<? extends IBaseResource>
    The return type for this search method.
    This method allows the return type for this method to be specified in a non-type-specific way, using the text name of the resource, e.g.
  • Element Details

    • type

      The return type for this search method. This generally does not need to be populated for a server implementation, since servers will return only one resource per class, but generally does need to be populated for client implementations.
      Default:
      org.hl7.fhir.instance.model.api.IBaseResource.class
    • typeName

      This method allows the return type for this method to be specified in a non-type-specific way, using the text name of the resource, e.g. "Patient". This attribute should be populate, or type() should be, but not both.
      Since:
      5.4.0
      Default:
      ""
