root/i-scream/experimental/server/XMLReader/XMLPacketParser.java
Revision: 1.1
Committed: Fri Nov 17 11:07:32 2000 UTC (24 years ago) by pjm2
Branch: MAIN
Log Message:
Added a new class - XMLPacketParser.java

This new class looks after the SAX parsing methods which are used to
create our XMLPacket contents.

The XMLPacketMaker class has also been altered to make use of the
XMLPacketParser class.  The XMLPacketMaker class now accepts a String
argument in its constructor.  It uses the XMLPacketParser to populate the
XMLPacket, for which the XMLPacketMaker provides an accessor.
