public class UserDataElement

extends DefaultElement

UserDataElement support the adornment of a user data object on an Element or Attribute instance such that the methods setData(Object)will get and set the values of a user data object. This can be useful for developers wishing to create XML trees and adorn the trees with user defined objects.
