Class FloatElementHandlerBase

java.lang.Object

org.biojava.utils.stax.StAXContentHandlerBase

org.biojava.utils.stax.FloatElementHandlerBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

StAXContentHandler

public abstract class FloatElementHandlerBase
extends StAXContentHandlerBase

StAX handler for any element which just contains a string representation of a float.

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

1.2
