Defining properties of the attributes other than String

To define properties of the attributes other than Strings, for example Integers, perform these code changes:

1. In the MTDSataDescription.java, change the getType() method as:

   public String getType(String attrName) { 
         BusinessObjectAttributeDefinition info = (BusinessObjectAttributeDefinition)
   ((MTSMetadataObject) getMetadataObject()) 
                 .getAttributes().get(attrName); 
         return info.getType(); 
   
     }

2. In MTSMetadataObject.java, add the following method:

   private BusinessObjectAttributeDefinition createBODAttributeInfo
   (String type, String cardinality, boolean required) { 
              BusinessObjectAttributeDefinition info = 
   new BusinessObjectAttributeDefinition(); 
              info.setType(type); 
              info.setCardinality(cardinality); 
              info.setRequired(required); 
              return info; 
      }

3. In MTSMetadataObject.java, change the getChildren() method for adding properties as:

   attribs.put("Hello", createBODAttributeInfo("string", "1", false)); 
   attribs.put("amount", createBODAttributeInfo("int", "1", false));
