| 24 | * <p> | |
| 25 | * A base class for node combiner implementations. | |
| 26 | * </p> | |
| 27 | * <p> | |
| 28 | * A <em>node combiner</em> is an object that knows how two hierarchical node | |
| 29 | * structures can be combined into a single one. Of course, there are many | |
| 30 | * possible ways of implementing such a combination, e.g. constructing a union, | |
| 31 | * an intersection, or an "override" structure (were nodes in the first | |
| 32 | * hierarchy take precedence over nodes in the second hierarchy). This abstract | |
| 33 | * base class only provides some helper methods and defines the common interface | |
| 34 | * for node combiners. Concrete sub classes will implement the diverse | |
| 35 | * combination algorithms. | |
| 36 | * </p> | |
| 37 | * <p> | |
| 38 | * For some concrete combiner implementations it is important to distinguish | |
| 39 | * whether a node is a single node or whether it belongs to a list structure. | |
| 40 | * Alone from the input structures, the combiner will not always be able to make | |
| 41 | * this decision. So sometimes it may be necessary for the developer to | |
| 42 | * configure the combiner and tell it, which nodes should be treated as list | |
| 43 | * nodes. For this purpose the <code>addListNode()</code> method exists. It | |
| 44 | * can be passed the name of a node, which should be considered a list node. | |
| 45 | * </p> | |
