The purpose of using this interface is to decouple Spring code from any specific attributes implementation. Even once JSR-175 is available, there is still value in such a facade interface, as it allows for hierarchical attribute sources: for example, an XML file or properties file might override some attributes defined in source-level metadata with JSR-175 or another framework. @author Mark Pollack @author Rod Johnson @since 30.09.2003 @see org.springframework.metadata.commons.CommonsAttributes
