Interface Processor<IN extends MessageProvider,OUT extends MessageProvider>

Type Parameters:

IN - input type for that processor

OUT - output type for that processor

All Known Implementing Classes:

CachingProcessor, RawProcessor, RefResolver, SyntaxProcessor

public interface Processor<IN extends MessageProvider,OUT extends MessageProvider>

Main processing interface

Note that it is required that both inputs and outputs implement MessageProvider: this allows a processor to grab a context-dependent message to include into the report should the need arise. A ProcessingReport is passed as an argument so that the processor can add debug/info/warning/error messages.

Ideally, processors should not throw unchecked exceptions.

Method Summary

OUT	process(ProcessingReport report, IN input) Process the input

Parameters:

report - the report to use while processing
