Interface Attribute

All Superinterfaces:

public interface Attribute

extends java.io.Serializable

Attributes map name/value pairs into metadata records. Currently, only OMR TypedProperty's are supported. Like Configuration, an Attribute cannot be directly instantiated. Clients should call Configuration.setAttribute(). Attribute provides a number of convenience methods to translate the metadata representation of the Attribute value.

Since:

1/15/2003
