Interface AttributeContainer
- All Superinterfaces:
HasAttributes
An attribute container is a container of
attributes
, which are
strongly typed named entities. Such a container is responsible for storing and
getting attributes in a type safe way. In particular, attributes are strongly typed,
meaning that when we get a value from the container, the returned value type is
inferred from the type of the attribute. In a way, an attribute container is
similar to a Map
where the entry is a "typed String" and the value
is of the string type. However the set of methods available to the container is
much more limited.
It is not allowed to have two attributes with the same name but different types in
the container.- Since:
- 3.3
