  • Element Details

    • type

      Class<? extends IResource> 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:
      ca.uhn.fhir.model.api.IResource.class

    • typeName

      String 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.
