Package com.ptc.core.meta.container.common Description

Attribute Container

TypeInstances implement the AttributeContainer interface, providing the capability to add, manipulate, and remove attribute content. The AttributeContainer interface provides methods to retrieve both the AttributeTypeIdentifiers and the AttributeIdentifiers from within the container, and then to retrieve/replace the content associated with those AttributeIdentifiers.

Example: Setting the ‘Length’ Attribute on a part.

TypeInstance part = someComponent.getPart(parameters);

AttributeIdentifier attr = DefaultIdentifierFactory.getInstance().get("WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart~IBA|Length");

FloatingPoint value = new FloatingPointWithUnits(new Unit("10.0","ft"));

try {

part.put(attr,value);

}

catch (IllegalContentException e) {

// PRINT ERROR

}
