Enclosing class:

ProfileDataCollection

public static final class ProfileDataCollection.AttributeValue
extends Object
implements Serializable

Class representing an exported profile attribute value. Objects of this class encapsulate either a java.lang.String object representing an exported value, or an array of AttributeValue objects representing the exported elements of an array-type attribute. Null attribute values and null array elements are exported as null values, rather than as an AttributeValue instance encapsulating a null value.
