public abstract class XmlContent
extends XmlNode

An XmlContent instance is a component of an XmlSpec that maps object properties to XML text content. Each XmlContent instance is created as an anonymous class which defines two particular methods. getData(WriteableEntity, String) implements the code which reads data from an element's text content into a property of a WriteableEntity instance. XmlNode.putData(WriteableEntity, org.w3c.dom.Element) implements the code which writes data from a WriteableEntity property into the element's text content.
