Class ElementStartImpl

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.jsefa.xml.lowlevel.model.ElementStartImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

ElementStart, XmlItem

public final class ElementStartImpl
extends Object
implements ElementStart

Implementation of ElementStart.

For performance reason no defensive copy of the attributes is made. A new instance of ElementStartImpl takes control of the given array of attributes. Furthermore getAttributes() directly returns this list - no copy or view is created. Thus a client must not change the array of attributes after creating a new ElementStartImpl and must not change the result of getAttributes().

Respecting this an instance of this class is thread-safe.
