Interface ListAware

All Superinterfaces:

MapAware

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractListAware, XmlElement

public interface ListAware
extends MapAware

The ListAware interface should be implemented by any class which is not directly a List, but may wrap one. Such an object could be viewed as a List directly by ignoring the wrapping object. e.g. an XML element, which can be viewed as a List of its children.
