  43 <p>Provides classes and interfaces describing the roles and
  44 syntax of attribute objects in the Java Print Service API.</p>
  45 <p>
  46 The package contains the base attribute interface and several subinterfaces
  47 describing the different attribute roles of printing attributes. Furthermore,
  48 abstract classes defining the syntax of attributes are provided. For
  49 collections of attributes based on their roles different set interfaces and
  50 implementing classes are available.
  51 </p><p>
  52 Existing attribute roles are:
  53 <ul>
  54 <li><a href="PrintServiceAttribute.html">PrintServiceAttribute</a>s
  55 describing the state and other informations of a PrintService.</li>
  56 <li><a href="PrintJobAttribute.html">PrintJobAttribute</a>s describing
  57 the state of the print job.</li>
  58 <li><a href="PrintRequestAttribute.html">PrintRequestAttribute</a>s specifying
  59 how a print job should be printed and are applied to a complete print job.</li>
  60 <li><a href="PrintJobAttribute.html">PrintJobAttribute</a> s specifying
  61 how a single document in the print job should be printed.</li>
  62 </ul>
  63 </p><p>
  64 Every attribute is of a certain syntax which defines its type and the
  65 representation of its value. The different syntax types are provided as
  66 abstract syntax classes (e.g. <code>IntegerSyntax</code>). Concrete attribute
  67 implementations are subclasses of these abstract syntax classes.
  68 </p><p>
  69 Attributes may be collected as sets of attributes. Different interfaces for
  70 attribute collections per role and implementations based on a HashMap are
  71 provided (for example <a href="HashPrintJobAttributeSet.html">
  72 HashPrintJobAttributeSet</a> for the print job attributes).
