- ## Method Details

  - ### accept

    public void accept(Visitor v)
    Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitly defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.

      `accept` in interface `Node`
    Specified by:
      `accept` in class `Attribute`
    Parameters:
      `v` - Visitor object

  - ### copy

    public Attribute copy(ConstantPool constantPool)
    Specified by:
      `copy` in class `Attribute`
    Parameters:
      `constantPool` - constant pool to save.
    Returns:
      deep copy of this attribute.

  - ### dump

    public final void dump(DataOutputStream dos) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `Attribute`
    Dumps attribute to file stream in binary format.
    Overrides:
      `dump` in class `Attribute`
    Parameters:
      `dos` - Output file stream
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

  - ### getDefaultValue

    public final ElementValue getDefaultValue()
    Returns:
      the default value

  - ### setDefaultValue

    public final void setDefaultValue(ElementValue defaultValue)
    Parameters:
      `defaultValue` - the default value of this methodinfo's annotation
