BaseAttribute (Schema2beans repackaged as an OSGI bundle 6.6 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AttrProp
```
public interface BaseAttribute
```
The BaseBean introspection methods return BaseProperty and BaseAttribute objects. This interface is the attribute equivalent to the BaseProperty interface. This interface is the public access to the schema2beans internal attribute information (see AttrProp class for the implementation of this interface).

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`String`	`getDefaultValue()` Default value used when creating this attribute
`String`	`getDtdName()` Return the dtd name of the attribute, as it appears in the DTD file.
`String`	`getName()` Return the name of the attribute as it is used in the bean class.
`int`	`getOption()` Returns one of the following constants: OPTION_REQUIRED OPTION_IMPLIED OPTION_FIXED
`int`	`getType()` Returns one of the following constants: TYPE_CDATA TYPE_ENUM TYPE_NMTOKEN TYPE_ID TYPE_IDREF TYPE_IDREFS TYPE_ENTITY TYPE_ENTITIES TYPE_NOTATION
`String[]`	`getValues()` If the attribute is Enum, returns the list of possible values
`boolean`	`hasName(String name)` Return true if the name is either equals to getName() or getDtdName()
`boolean`	`isEnum()` True if the attribute is Enum
`boolean`	`isFixed()` True if the attribute has a fixed value
`boolean`	`isTransient()` In general the attributes are defined in the DTD file, like the properties, and are therefore part of the bean structure, because part of the generated beans.

    In general the attributes are defined in the DTD file, like the properties, and are therefore part of the bean structure, because part of the generated beans. This method returns false for such attributes. If an attribute is not declared in the DTD file but used in the XML document, the schema2beans consider such attributes as transient and add them, on the fly, into the bean structures. This method returns true for such attributes.
