Field Detail

mmgr

protected final MetaDataManager mmgr

Manager for the MetaData.

clr

protected ClassLoaderResolver clr

filename

protected final String filename

Filename containing the XML metadata

metadata

protected MetaData metadata

The MetaData for this file (the end result of the parse process).

entityResolver

protected final EntityResolver entityResolver

Entity Resolver to use (if required)

charactersBuffer

protected StringBuilder charactersBuffer

parser buffer

validate

protected boolean validate

Whether to validate while parsing.

stack

protected Stack<MetaData> stack
