All Known Implementing Classes:

GenericAttributeControllerMixin, GenericCompositeAttributeControllerMixin

public interface GenericAttributeController
extends org.objectweb.fractal.api.control.AttributeController

A component interface to control the attributes of the component to which it belongs. In opposition to org.objectweb.fractal.api.control.AttributeController, the GenericAttributeController provides generic getter/setter methods for attributes. This way, you can dynamically add attributes to the component.
