1.32 + * Custom statistic type created for the Sun ONE Application Server.
1.33 + * The goal is to be able to represent changing attribute values that are strings
1.34 + * in the form of Statistics. Semantically, it is analogous to a {@link CountStatistic},
1.35 + * the only difference being in the value that is returned. Unlike a CountStatistic
1.36 + * (which always is unidirectional), this Statistic type is not having any
1.37 + * specified direction, simply because there is no natural order. An example
1.38 + * of the values that an instance of this statistic type can assume is: A State
1.39 + * Statistic which can have "CONNECTED, CLOSED, DISCONNECTED" as the permissible
1.40 + * values and the current value can be any one of them (and them only).
1.41 + * The permissible values are upto a particular implementation.
