Re: [ptp-dev] Getting default value for StringAttribute

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

What do you want the default value for? You can get the default value  
by creating a string attribute with no initial value, then getting  
the value of the attribute. We could provide a getDefaultValue()  
convenience method if you're going to be doing this a lot.

Given an attribute definition, you'd do something like this:

StringAttribute attr = JobAttributes.getQueueIdAttributeDefinition 
().create();
String defValue = attr.getValue();

If you already have an attribute, the you'd do something like:

String defValue = attr.getDefinition().create().getValue();

Let me know if you'd us to add getDefaultValue() and will put it in.
