Class AttributeBean

java.lang.Object
com.fatwire.services.beans.BaseBean
com.fatwire.services.beans.asset.AttributeBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class AttributeBean

extends BaseBean

The AttributeBean is the value object for asset data related services. It represents an attribute associated with an asset.

Every asset is an instance of an asset type composed of an ensemble of associated properties called attributes. An asset may also be further classified into a sub-type defined using a subset of those attributes from its enclosing type. An attribute is populated with data in the context of an asset.

• For Assetmaker assets, an asset may optionally be classified into a sub-type.
• For Flex assets, every asset is necessarily an instance of a type definition (which is essentially a sub-type).

The data is stored in a list to accommodate for multi-valued attributes. It is up to the client application to enforce usage of this bean in the context of single or multi-valued attributes.
