public interface Feed

A Feed is a SequenceReceiver that accepts a sequence of items in composed form: it rejects events such as startElement and endElement that represent "decomposed" nodes in the data model. Typically it computes some result based on this sequence, which is either passed on to another Feed in a pipeline, or is available through a subclass-specific method on completion.

Method Summary

void	append(Item item) Supply an item to the feed
void	close() Signal the end of the sequence of items
PipelineConfiguration	getPipelineConfiguration() Get the pipeline configuration
void	open() Signal the start of a sequence of items
