Description Attributes are a system-wide storage system. Attributes typically have up to three keys (known as a key set) and a value. Attributes are stored in the database (rather than the repository). An example of use is for persisting system-wide JMX configuration properties in SkyVault Community Edition.

The AttributeService provides a Java interface for creating and managing Attributes, including such operations as:

  • Getting a collection of Attributes
  • Getting a single Attribute
  • Creating an Attribute
  • Removing an Attribute
  • Removing a collection of Attributes

Collections of Attributes can be processed on retrieval by implementing a callback handler object. The callback handler object's handleAttribute method is invoked for each Attribute retrieved.
