Interface FieldActivator

All Known Implementing Classes:

XMLValidator

public interface FieldActivator

Interface for a field activator. The field activator is responsible for activating fields within a specific scope; the caller merely requests the fields to be activated.

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.
