Class KeyTable

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--weblogic.apache.xalan.xslt.KeyTable

public class KeyTable
extends java.lang.Object

Table of element keys, keyed by document node. An instance of this class is keyed by a Document node that should be matched with the root of the current context. It contains a table of name mappings to tables that contain mappings of identifier values to nodes.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.
