DefaultAttributeInfo

public DefaultAttributeInfo(java.lang.String n,
                            java.lang.String d,
                            java.lang.Class[] t)

Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the identifying name of this attribute.

Specified by:

getName in interface IAttributeInfo

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Returns a human-readable description of this attribute.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface IAttributeInfo

getValueTypes

public java.lang.Class[] getValueTypes()

Returns a list of the acceptable types (baseclasses and interfaces) for the values stored with this attribute. Implementations should return a minimal but most descriptive set of classes (that is, only returning java.lang.Object is not descriptive; likewise if there are many known implementations of an inferface, only the interface need to be returned). This is a convenience method, and should not be relied upon to generate input values.
