## org.biojava.utils.stax
Class StringElementHandlerBase

    java.lang.Object
      org.biojava.utils.stax.StAXContentHandlerBase
          org.biojava.utils.stax.StringElementHandlerBase

All Implemented Interfaces:
  StAXContentHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:
  GAMEDescriptionPropHandler, GAMENamePropHandler, GAMETypePropHandler, PropDetailHandler

    public abstract class StringElementHandlerBase

extends StAXContentHandlerBase

StAX handler for any element which just contains a string. This class collects the string data, and when it is complete, passes it to the (abstract) setStringValue method. Typical use of this class is as a base for a small (often anonymous) class which takes the string value and stores it in some variable.

  1.2
