Method Detail

setAttribute

void setAttribute(String ns,
                  String tag,
                  String attrNS,
                  String attr,
                  Object obj,
                  Object value,
                  cookxml.core.DecodeEngine decodeEngine)
                  throws Exception

Set an attribute of the object.

Parameters:

ns - the namespace of the element.

tag - the tag of the element

attrNS - the namespace of the attribute

attr - the name of the attribute

obj - the object associated with the element

value - the value of the object. We didn't use the String type because it is entirely possible for an object of the child elements to call the setter.

decodeEngine - the DecodeEngine being used.

Throws:

Exception - If the exception is not a SetterException, then it is wrapped inside one by the DecodeEngine and handled by the ExceptionHandler.
