Even more misleading is the documentation of this modules :(
Take a look at this[1]:
Configuration:
It can be controlled whether it returns a flat or a deep view, i.e.
whether only values from the first module are returned if non-null or
they are merged with values from other modules
|<all-values>true</all-values>|. The same is possible for the attribute
names (|<all-names/>|). In addition, empty strings could be treated the
same as null values (|<empty-as-null/>|).
Do I get it that if all-values is true getAttribute should return list
of values of configured modules, exactly one value per configured input
module? And then getAttributes should just merge attributes from all
configured input modules. However, looking at the snippet above it's
clear no of situations described take place!
I've got enough confidence to rewrite it...
