If the callback has intercepted an attribute, it can stop the invocation of the rest of the callbacks on the stack by returning false.

Parameters:

parent - parent element

attribute - current intercepted attribute

builder - builder holding the current bean definition

Returns:

true if the rest of the callbacks should be called or false otherwise.
