Automatic setting of attributes

Some attributes values can be set automatically if not specifically defined in the configuration file. Typical attributes are identity attributes.

Example:

The tag <ARTICLE> has an automatically incremented attribute named id:

<ARTICLE name="A"/>	Article “A” was automatically given id=”0”.
<ARTICLE name=”B”/>	Article “B” was automatically given id=”1”.
<ARTICLE name=”C” id=”5”/>	Article “C” was intentionally given id=”5”.
<ARTICLE name=”D”/>	Article “D” was automatically given id=”2”.

Initially, there were two articles in the configuration file without any id defined. These articles were assigned id 0 and id 1 automatically. Article C was added later and was given id 5 in the configuration file. Finally, the article D was added without any id and was automatically assigned the next available id number through automatic incrementing.
