handled correctly.

                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1162
             Project: Beehive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: NetUI
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.2, V.Next
            Reporter: Carlin Rogers
         Assigned To: Carlin Rogers
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: V.Next


When resetting the value of TreeElement attribute using TreeHtmlAttributeInfo, 
the AttributeRenderer still maintains the original attribute in a list and then 
it is applied to the markup of subsequent tree items. This is an issue between 
the TreeElement set of attributes and the AttributeRenderer.

For example, if an attribute is applied to a tree item when the item is 
selected (via a selectNode() action) and reset to a different value when a 
different node is selected, the nodes that follow will have the old attribute 
applied to them.

The TreeElement stores the attributes in a List. So trying to reset the 
attribute value in another operation using TreeElement.addAttribute() just adds 
a second entry to the list. For example, if a "style" attribute has already 
been set on a tree item and then addAttribute() is used to to change the value 
of the attribute on the node, it just adds it to the list. Now there's two 
attributes in the TreeElement attribute list with the same name ("style"). This 
makes the AttributeRenderer behave incorrectly, thinking that the first 
attribute exists and needs to be saved for other elements.

There is a workaround for this issue. A page flow developer could call the 
public TreeElement.getAttributeList() method and search through the list to see 
if it contains a TreeHtmlAttributeInfo with the same attribute name and then 
reset the value of that attribute.
