public interface InitializableXMLObject

The InitializableXMLObject interface is intended to allow an application object created by a DefaultNodeHandler to expose initialization and validation methods to be called at strategic points in the building of the application object 'tree'.

Method Summary

void	postInitialize() Performs any extra steps required to initialize and validate this application object once its child application objects have been created.
void	preInitialize(java.lang.Object o) Performs any steps required to initialize this application object after it has been created, perhaps relating this object to its parent.
