Class AbstractDataFileHandler

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.basedb.core.filehandler.AbstractDataFileHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataFileHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

AffymetrixFileHandler

public abstract class AbstractDataFileHandler
extends Object
implements DataFileHandler

This abstract class should, if possible, be used as a super-class for all classes implementing the DataFileValidator interface. We consider this interface to be part of the public API only on the client side, not on the implementor side. This means that we may add additional methods (but not change existing ones) to the interface at any time. All new methods will get default implementations in this abstract class to not break existing implementions.
