Class DefaultNavigator

java.lang.Object

org.jaxen.DefaultNavigator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Navigator

Direct Known Subclasses:

DocumentNavigator, DocumentNavigator, DocumentNavigator, DocumentNavigator, DocumentNavigator

public abstract class DefaultNavigator
extends Object
implements Navigator

Default implementation of Navigator.

This implementation is an abstract class, since some required operations cannot be implemented without additional knowledge of the object model.

When possible, default method implementations build upon each other, to reduce the number of methods required to be implemented for each object model. All methods, of course, may be overridden, to provide more-efficient implementations.
