public class XmlDataType

extends AbstractLengthDataType

The data associated with 'XML' values (Document). At the moment this class is empty, but of course we forsee the possibility for restrictions on doc-type.

Method Summary

long	getLength(Object value) In this method should be implemented how to calculate such a length for a certain value of this datatype. There does not exist a generic interface for this, so the implementation will cast to the expected type (String, byte[]..)
