Class JDOMetaDataHandler

java.lang.Object

org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

org.datanucleus.metadata.xml.AbstractMetaDataHandler

org.datanucleus.api.jdo.metadata.JDOMetaDataHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler

public class JDOMetaDataHandler
extends org.datanucleus.metadata.xml.AbstractMetaDataHandler

Parser handler for JDO MetaData. Implements DefaultHandler and handles the extracting of MetaData for JDO from the XML elements/attributes. This class simply constructs the MetaData representation mirroring what is in the MetaData file. It has no knowledge of the class(es) that it represents, simply the information in the MetaData file. The knowledge of the classes is imposed on the representation at a later stage where necessary.

Operates the parse process using a Stack. MetaData components are added to the stack as they are encountered and created. They are then popped off the stack when the end element is encountered.
