ExtensibleObject is the interface from which all objects that reside in the registry are derived. The methods of this interface provide for the association with a registry object of attributes that are not explicitly defined in the JAXR API. An ExtensibleObject may have any number of these attributes, which are represented by the Slot interface. Slots are created and added by the JAXR provider and may also be used by application code, although not all JAXR providers will store application-created Slots in the registry.

Slots can be added to an ExtensibleObject either singly using the addSlot( ) method or as a group by calling addSlots( ); they can be removed using removeSlot( ) or removeSlots( ). Both of these methods use the name of the Slot as the key. The getSlot( ) method locates a Slot given its name and returns null if no slot with the supplied ...
