Primary definition

Used in request messages. Class for specifying information not addressed in this model by other attributes, e.g. state-specific information that does not “fit” in any other attribute. The information will thus be highly specific to the generating application, and consuming applications must “know” the meaning of the information to make use of it. For this reason, use of this class is discouraged as much as is possible. The StringValue and FileValue attributes are both optional, however exactly one of them must be included. Attribute Multiplicity Type Attribute Description FileValue 0..1 File Used if the value is in a file; contains the filename and MIME type Name 1 String Name of the value. StringValue 0..1 String Used if the value is a string; contains the string.
