Class RuleSet

  • public class RuleSet
extends java.lang.Object

    RuleSet manages a set of rules which are sorted in order of relevance according to the XSLT defined conflict resolution policy. This makes finding the correct rule for a DOM4J Node using the XSLT processing model efficient as the rules can be evaluated in order of priority.
