getInitialValue

public Expression getInitialValue()
                           throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
An Expression specifying the value of the attribute upon initialization. It is meant to be evaluated at the time the object is initialized. (Note that an explicit constructor may supersede an initial value.)

setInitialValue

public void setInitialValue(Expression newValue)
                     throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
An Expression specifying the value of the attribute upon initialization. It is meant to be evaluated at the time the object is initialized. (Note that an explicit constructor may supersede an initial value.)
