A Slot is an object with a name, a type, and a collection of string values, no two of which may be the same. Slots are used to add arbitrary attributes to a RegistryObject without requiring an extension to the JAXR API. Every RegistryObject inherits the ability to handle Slots from the ExtensibleObject interface, which defines the methods necessary to store and retrieve them. A Slot is uniquely identified by its name; the result of attempting to add a Slot to an object that already has one with the same name is not defined by the JAXR specification.

The JAXR provider uses Slots to represent a small number of registry object attributes ...
