Interface ElementDefinitionHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractElementDefinitionHandler

public interface ElementDefinitionHandler
A element definition handler. The element definition handler is used to represent a certain parser state. The current state is set in the parser using the pushFactory() method. The parser forwards any incoming SAXEvent to the current handler, until the handler is removed with popFactory().
