- Method Detail
  - getImportTypes
```
Set<Type> getImportTypes()
```
    returns all types required as import by the assignment statement.
    
    Returns:
    
    imported types
  - getThrownTypes
```
List<Type> getThrownTypes()
```
    returns all types exception types thrown by this assignment.
    
    Returns:
    
    exceptions thrown
  - setAssignment
```
void setAssignment(Assignment assignment)
```
    An assignment in itself can wrap another assignment. E.g.:
    
    a MethodReference can wrap a TypeConversion, another MethodReference and ultimately a Simple
    
    a TypeConversion can wrap a MethodReference, and ultimately a Simple
    Parameters:
    
    assignment - the assignment to set
  - getSourceReference
```
String getSourceReference()
```
    the source reference being a source-getter, a constant, nested method call, etc.
    
    Returns:
    
    source reference
  - isSourceReferenceParameter
```
boolean isSourceReferenceParameter()
```
    Returns:
    
    true when the source reference is the source parameter (and not a property of the source parameter type)
  - getSourcePresenceCheckerReference
```
PresenceCheck getSourcePresenceCheckerReference()
```
    the source presence checker reference
    
    Returns:
    
    source reference
  - getSourceType
```
Type getSourceType()
```
    the source type used in the matching process
    
    Returns:
    
    source type (can be null)
  - createUniqueVarName
```
String createUniqueVarName(String desiredName)
```
    Creates an unique safe (local) variable name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    desiredName - the desired name
    
    Returns:
    
    the desired name, made unique in the scope of the bean mapping.
  - getSourceLocalVarName
```
String getSourceLocalVarName()
```
    See setSourceLocalVarName(java.lang.String)
    
    Returns:
    
    local variable name (can be null if not set)
  - getSourceParameterName
```
String getSourceParameterName()
```
    Returns the source parameter name, to which this assignment applies. Note: the source parameter itself might be mapped by this assignment, or one of its properties
    
    Returns:
    
    the source parameter name
  - setSourceLocalVarName
```
void setSourceLocalVarName(String sourceLocalVarName)
```
    Replaces the sourceReference at the call site in the assignment in the template with this sourceLocalVarName. The sourceLocalVarName can subsequently be used for e.g. null checking.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sourceLocalVarName - source local variable name
  - getSourceLoopVarName
```
String getSourceLoopVarName()
```
    See getSourceLoopVarName() (java.lang.String) }
    
    Returns:
    
    loop variable (can be null if not set)
  - setSourceLoopVarName
```
void setSourceLoopVarName(String sourceLoopVarName)
```
    Replaces the sourceLocalVar or sourceReference at the call site in the assignment in the template with this sourceLoopVarName. The sourceLocalVar can subsequently be used for e.g. null checking.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sourceLoopVarName - loop variable
  - getType
```
Assignment.AssignmentType getType()
```
    Returns whether the type of assignment
    
    Returns:
    
    Assignment.AssignmentType
  - isCallingUpdateMethod
```
boolean isCallingUpdateMethod()
```
