All Implemented Interfaces:

org.xml.sax.ContentHandler, org.xml.sax.DTDHandler, org.xml.sax.EntityResolver, org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler

public class PersistenceFileMetaDataHandler
extends AbstractMetaDataHandler

Parser handler for "persistence.xml" files to convert them into a PersistenceFileMetaData. Implements DefaultHandler and handles the extracting of MetaData from the XML elements/attributes. This class simply constructs the MetaData representation mirroring what is in the MetaData file.

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.
