Feature

This abstract class models the information of a feature.

public abstract class Feature implements Serializable {
    protected String name;
    protected String description;
    protected ValueType valueType;
    protected Object defaultValue;
    protected transient Object value;
    protected String expression;
    protected String serverExpression;

    // Getters and setters...

    // Extra methods
}

The class also contains a set of extra methods that can be used to prepare the object to be written inside a plan in the YAML file by removing the setting the value of all the attributes to null, except value. However, one of them can be useful: featureAttributesMap, as it returns a Map<String,Object> with the attributes of the feature and their values.

Each feature type supported by Yaml4SaaS is represented by a class that extends this abstract one. The following list shows the classes that extend Feature:

• Information
• Integration
• Domain
• Automation
• Management
• Guarantee
• Support
• Payment

Each of these objects contains the specific attributes of the feature type, such as integrationType in the Integration feature class, automationType in the Automation class, etc.
