public class CollectionDefinition
extends DataDictionaryDefinitionBase
implements CollectionSizeConstrainable

CollectionDefinition defines a single Collection attribute definition in the DataDictionary

It contains information relating to the display, validation, and general maintenance of a specific Collection attribute of an entry. It helps to provide meaningful labels for collections on a business or data object. It can be used to define collections that are generated at runtime and marked using @Transient in the containing business or data object class.
