Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

Remarks

Retrieve or display the information requested in the provided Callbacks.

The handle method implementation checks the instance(s) of the Callback object(s) passed in to retrieve or display the requested information. The following example is provided to help demonstrate what an handle method implementation might look like. This example code is for guidance only. Many details, including proper error handling, are left out for simplicity.

{@code
            public void handle(Callback[] callbacks)
