Interface AttributeSet

All Superinterfaces:

AttributeCollection, java.lang.Cloneable, Restrictable

public interface AttributeSet

extends AttributeCollection

This interface defines a collection of Attributes. It complies to the mathematical definition of a set. For an AttributeSet it is not allowed to add attributes with the same name, so you can not have two Attributes a1 and a2 for which a1.getName().equals(a2.getName()) is true.
