public class XMLProcessor

extends java.lang.Object

The XMLProcessor coordinates the report processing for the XML-Output. This class is responsible to initialize and maintain the XMLWriter, which performs the output process.

The XMLProcessor is not intended to produce complex output, it is an educational example. If you want valid xml data enriched with layouting information, then have a look at the HTML-OutputTarget, this target is also able to write XHTMl code.
