This
ID
(required)
refers
to
the
unique
protocol
ID
of
one
of
the
attribute

service
protocols.
The
protocol
given
with
this
ID
is
used
to
retrieve
the
container
from
the
provider.
This
element
has
to
match
an
ID
known
to
the
service.
provider_id
This
ID
(required)
refers
to
the
attribute
retrieval
service
provider
which
is
capable
of
sending
a
container
corresponding
to
the
descriptor.
The
service
connects
to
this
provider
when
this
container
is
requested.
properties
General
client
and
protocol
dependent
properties.
You
add
a
property
setting
the
following
way:
Add
an
element
called
property
with
an
attribute
named
key.
The
attribute
contains
the
name
or
key
of
the
property,
the
content
of
the
element,
and
the
corresponding
value.
Consider
the
client_init_properties
in
the
example
code
below.
client_init_properties
Properties
specific
to
the
initialization
of
the
attribute
retrieval
service
clients.
One
property
used
by
different
protocols
is
the
attribute
mapping
described
below.
ContainerPayloadFormat
This
element
(required)
describes
the
structure
and
contents
of
the
containers
corresponding
to
this
descriptor.
The
content
of
this
element
is
protocol
dependent.
The
DynAdiProtocols
currently
available
provides
a
list
of
elements
named
with
the
attribute
names
to
be
retrieved
from
the
provider
in
this
element.
The
containers
are
wrapped
by
a
element
named
with
the
container_name.
Attribute
mapping
Attribute
mapping
might
be
necessary,
if
the
attribute
retrieval
service
provider
uses
attribute
names
not
compatible
with
XML
element
names.
Such
a
mapping
is
generated
the
following
way:
The
key
has
the
structure:
"map_provider_attribute_name__"
+
source__provider_attribute_name
if
you
map
one
of
the
provider’s
attribute
names
to
one
of
your
own,
or
"map_attribute_name__"
+
source_attribute_name
if
you
do
a
reverse
mapping.
The
value
of
such
a
property
contains
the
attribute
name
to
map
to.
Please
note
the
such
an
declaration
is
only
one-way.
You
must
add
a
second
one
to
generate
a
reverse-mapping.
