* a general approach allowing a Domain Type to be mapped to multiple categories. The conversion for the most | |
* part involves obtaining a <code>CategoryAttributes</code> instance for a specific category from the request | |
* context and then mapping Object properties as name-value pairs using one of the overloaded | |
* <code>setAttribute</code> methods. | |
