- Enum Constant Detail
  - STRING
```
public static final AttributeType STRING
```
    The String type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as String, List<String> or String[] objects, depending on the cardinality value.
  - LONG
```
public static final AttributeType LONG
```
    The Long type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Long, List<Long> or long[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.
  - INTEGER
```
public static final AttributeType INTEGER
```
    The Integer type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Integer, List<Integer> or int[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.
  - SHORT
```
public static final AttributeType SHORT
```
    The Short type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Short, List<Short> or short[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.
  - CHARACTER
```
public static final AttributeType CHARACTER
```
    The Character type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Character, List<Character> or char[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.
  - BYTE
```
public static final AttributeType BYTE
```
    The Byte type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Byte, List<Byte> or byte[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.
  - DOUBLE
```
public static final AttributeType DOUBLE
```
    The Double type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Double, List<Double> or double[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.
  - FLOAT
```
public static final AttributeType FLOAT
```
    The Float type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Float, List<Float> or float[] objects, depending on the AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality value.
  - BOOLEAN
```
public static final AttributeType BOOLEAN
```
    The Boolean type.
    Attributes of this type should be stored as Boolean, List<Boolean> or boolean[] objects depending on AttributeDefinition#cardinality() cardinality.
  - PASSWORD
```
public static final AttributeType PASSWORD
```
    The Password type.
    Attributes of this type must be stored as String, List<String> or String[] objects depending on cardinality.
    A Password must be treated as a String but the type can be used to disguise the information when displayed to a user to prevent it from being seen.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static AttributeType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (AttributeType c : AttributeType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static AttributeType valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Enum<AttributeType>
