Interface ElementNodeFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultFactory, FilterFactory

public interface ElementNodeFactory

A factory used to create instances of hierarchy node implementations. Loaders that use the element hierarchy should implement this factory so as to provide their own implementations of hierarchy element nodes.
