| <p>Provides classes and interfaces describing the roles and |
| syntax of attribute objects in the Java Print Service API.</p> |
| <p> |
| The package contains the base attribute interface and several subinterfaces |
| describing the different attribute roles of printing attributes. Furthermore, |
| abstract classes defining the syntax of attributes are provided. For |
| collections of attributes based on their roles different set interfaces and |
| implementing classes are available. |
| </p><p> |
| Existing attribute roles are: |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="PrintServiceAttribute.html">PrintServiceAttribute</a>s |
| describing the state and other informations of a PrintService.</li> |
| <li><a href="PrintJobAttribute.html">PrintJobAttribute</a>s describing |
| the state of the print job.</li> |
| <li><a href="PrintRequestAttribute.html">PrintRequestAttribute</a>s specifying |
| how a print job should be printed and are applied to a complete print job.</li> |
| <li><a href="PrintJobAttribute.html">PrintJobAttribute</a> s specifying |
| how a single document in the print job should be printed.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p><p> |
| Every attribute is of a certain syntax which defines its type and the |
| representation of its value. The different syntax types are provided as |
| abstract syntax classes (e.g. <code>IntegerSyntax</code>). Concrete attribute |
| implementations are subclasses of these abstract syntax classes. |
| </p><p> |
| Attributes may be collected as sets of attributes. Different interfaces for |
| attribute collections per role and implementations based on a HashMap are |
| provided (for example <a href="HashPrintJobAttributeSet.html"> |
| HashPrintJobAttributeSet</a> for the print job attributes). |
