Protected Component attributes methods doesn't work for custom components
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-404
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-404
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: Todd Volkert
Assignee: Todd Volkert
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4.1
The existing protected attributes methods in Component don't allow custom
components (those outside of the WTK package) to leverage attributes, because
"A protected member or constructor of an object may be accessed from outside
the package in which it is declared only by code that is responsible for the
implementation of that object." [1]
This ticket proposes to change the attributes methods to the following
signatures:
public <T extends Enum<T>> Object getAttribute(T key);
public <T extends Enum<T>> Object setAttribute(T key, Object value);
Containers will define their own attribute enum values to implement their
static attribute-based methods.
