Just to get this straight: it is currently NOT possible to directly change an attribute of an mxj object with a message from a patch? Without writing an explicit setter function to do so, I mean.

It's working here with this simple example:

        declareInlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});

        declareOutlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});

        declareAttribute("toto");

public class attrtest extends MaxObject
{
	private int toto;

	public attrtest(Atom[] args)
	{
		declareInlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});
		declareOutlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});

	public void bang()
	{
		post(toto + "");
	}
}

ah, crap, I had completely glossed over the "declareAttribute" part. Thanks for the quick reply.
