[OpenMap Users] Possible error is BasicGeometry.putAttribute() or BasicGeometry.getAttribute()

Don,

I ran into a problem with the behaviour of putAttribute() getAttribute()
methods. When putting a key value pair, the first assignment will be
"forgotten" when a subsequent (but different) put is made.

Took a peek at the put/get attribute code in BasicGeometry and see how it
seemes to be implemented for backward compatibility with get/put AppObject.
However, I didn't see where what might be causing the behaviour.

Here is some test code to illustrate the behaviour:

public class OpenMapTestPutAttribute {
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        OMLine line = new OMLine();

        System.out.println("Putting name:firstname on line");
        line.putAttribute("name", "firstname");
        System.out.printf(" line.getAttribute(\"name\") is %-12s <== this
is expected\n",line.getAttribute("name"));
        System.out.printf(" line.getAttribute(\"slide\") is %-12s <== is
null as expected, not yet assigned\n",line.getAttribute("slide"));

        System.out.println("Putting slide:slidetype on line");
        line.putAttribute("slide", "slidetype");
        System.out.printf(" line.getAttribute(\"name\") is %-12s <==
should be firstname not null\n",line.getAttribute("name"));
        System.out.printf(" line.getAttribute(\"slide\") is %-12s <== is
slidetype as expected\n",line.getAttribute("slide"));

        System.out.println("Putting name:firstname on line (again)");
        line.putAttribute("name", "firstname");
        System.out.printf(" line.getAttribute(\"name\") is %-12s <== now
it is firstname after second put\n",line.getAttribute("name"));
        System.out.printf(" line.getAttribute(\"slide\") is %-12s <== is
slidetype as expected\n",line.getAttribute("slide"));
    }
}

Cheers,
David
