public class NestedAttribute

extends java.lang.Object

NestedAttribute represents a flat list of XML elements. For example, nested attribute

 <coordinate>
 <x/>
 </coordinate>
 

is represented by an element vector

 coordinate, x
 

NestedAttributes can be collected from the list of document properties requested by the client, or from the metadata returned by the client using the method collectAttributes. This class can also be used to filter out the attributes requested by the client from a complete document/resource description using matchDoc.
