Class AbstractInternalContext

java.lang.Object
  org.castor.xml.AbstractInternalContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

InternalContext, PropertyChangeProvider

Direct Known Subclasses:

BackwardCompatibilityContext

public abstract class AbstractInternalContext
extends Object
implements InternalContext

The internal context is meant as center piece providing (and keeping) all information that is required by Marshaller, Unmarshaller, SourceGenerator, MappingTool, SchemaReader and SchemaWriter. It is created, filled with initial data and put into all other parts of Castor by XMLContext. It is NOT meant to be directly instantiated by user implementations! For all other objects it provides access to Castor state information (e.g. known descriptors) and configuration values.

Since:

1.1.2
