com.ibm.portal.resolver.data
Interface XmlDataSink

All Superinterfaces:

DataSink, Disposable

public interface XmlDataSink
extends DataSink

Identifies a data sink that is able to handle XML feeds. The resolver infrastructure takes care of interpreting the incoming request body as an XML data stream and provides it in form of a Source object to the data sink.

The implementation of XmlDataSink can optionally implement the EntityResolver interface. If this is the case then the entity resolver will be used as the primary entity resolver during the parsing process.

Since:

6.1.0

Note:

This interface is designed to be implemented by clients.
