    Description copied from interface: ElementValue
    
    This returns the realized value of an element which was associated with this type. We recommend that this value be realized prior to the first request for the value (use this object to cache the result). If you do chose to implement this method lazily, consider caching the result as it may be called more than once, expecting the same result both times.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ElementValue
    
    Returns:
    
    Object (may be null)
