A representation of the model object 'Contribution'.
MContribution is a mix-in class used by concrete elements such as Parts to define the location of the client supplied class implementing the specific logic needed.
Since:

1.0

Restriction:
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
The following features are supported:
- Contribution URI
- Object

  - getContributionURI
```
String getContributionURI()
```
    Returns the value of the 'Contribution URI' attribute.
    The ContributionURI defines the complete path to a class implementing the logic for elements require external code to handle the UI such as MParts and MHandlers.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'Contribution URI' attribute.

```
    Sets the value of the 'Contribution URI' attribute.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the new value of the 'Contribution URI' attribute.

```
Object getObject()
```
    Returns the value of the 'Object' attribute.
    This is the DI created instance of the class implementing the logic for the element. It will only be non-null if the element has been rendered into the presentation.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'Object' attribute.
