Interface NamespaceResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractNamespaceResolver, NamespaceMapping, RegistryNamespaceResolver, SessionNamespaceResolver

public interface NamespaceResolver

Interface for resolving namespace URIs and prefixes. Unlike the JCR NamespaceRegistry interface, this interface contains no functionality other than the basic namespace URI and prefix resolution methods. This interface is therefore used internally in many places where the full namespace registry is either not available or some other mechanism is used for resolving namespaces.
