Interface XMLEntityHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:
  DefaultEntityHandler

public interface XMLEntityHandler
extends org.xml.sax.Locator

This is the interface used for entity management. This interface is typically implemented by the "parser" class to provide entity management services for the scanner classes.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.
