Class ObjectTypeNodeParser

java.lang.Object
  org.drools.reteoo.compiled.ObjectTypeNodeParser

public class ObjectTypeNodeParser
extends Object

This class is used for reading an ObjectTypeNode using callbacks.

The user defines a number of callback methods in a NetworkHandler that will be called when events occur during parsing. The events include :

ObjectTypeNode

Non-hashed and hashed AlphaNodes

BetaNodes

LeftInputAdapterNodes

Events are fired when each of these network features are encountered, and again when the end of them is encountered. OTN parsing is unidirectional; previously parsed data cannot be re-read without starting the parsing operation again.

Constructor Summary

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(NetworkHandler handler)

The application can use this method to instruct the OTN parser to begin parsing an ObjectTypeNode.

Once a parse is complete, an application may reuse the same Parser object, possibly with a different NetworkHandler.

Parameters:
