Field Detail

PARAM_RESTYPE

static final String PARAM_RESTYPE

Name of the param used on a ContentHandlerFactory config that specifies the resource type that the creator is adding support for. This is different from the type attribute on the resource element. In the case of a ContentHandlerFactory configuration, the ContentHandlerFactory impl resource type is "class", but it's adding support for something else (e.g. "xsl"). This is why we can't use the type attribute for this purpose.
