      extended by org.biojava.utils.stax.ByteElementHandlerBase
All Implemented Interfaces:
StAXContentHandler

public abstract class ByteElementHandlerBase
extends StAXContentHandlerBase

StAX handler for any element which just contains a string representation of a byte.

This calss collects the string data, and when it is complete, passes it to the (abstract) setByteValue method. Typical use of this class is as a base for a small (often anonymous) class which takes the byte value and stores it in some variable.

Parameters:
ch - an array of characters
start - index of the first significant character for this event.
end - number of characters significant to this event.
Throws:
SAXException

setByteValue

protected abstract void setByteValue(byte val)
                              throws SAXException

Override this method to do something useful with the byte we collect.

This method will be invoked by endElement with the fully parsed byte.
