public interface XAttributedComponent

An interface that allows the component builders to set the attributes of a component without knowing the individual accessor methods.

The interface uses a name to identify the attribute and a string value for the attribute or property value. In general these names are case in-sensitive to facilitate hand coding of the XML as case errors are difficult to spot. The method can also be used as a catch-all for attributes not known to XUI in advance as the framework will pass all attributes to the setAttribute method if the interface is implemented by a widget. The attribute names need not match the property method names as would be required by the bean specification.
