Interface EditableFeatureAttributeDescriptor

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, DynField, FeatureAttributeDescriptor

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultEditableFeatureAttributeDescriptor

public interface EditableFeatureAttributeDescriptor
extends FeatureAttributeDescriptor

This interface represents a FeatureAttributeDescriptor in editable state. To edit a FeatureAttributeDescriptor you have to obtain its instance of EditableFeatureAttributeDescriptor and then perform editing operations on it. Once you have completed the editing you can save the changes to the original FeatureAttributeDescriptor. This is the only way to edit a FeatureAttributeDescriptor.
