Package org.jibx.binding.model

Interface IComponent

All Known Implementing Classes:
CollectionElement, StructureElement, StructureElementBase, ValueElement
public interface IComponent
Child component interface definition. This is the basic interface implemented by every binding definition element that actually participates in the nested structure of a binding (as opposed to elements such as format elements, which are simply convenience shortcuts). It defines the hooks used to handle structure validation of a binding definition model.
