Class Path

  org.jasig.portal.car.Path

public class Path
extends Object

Holds onto a set of String path elements to assist with tracking where in an XML structure SAX processing is currently working. So an XML structure like the following would have a path of "", "", "" when SAX processing issued a startElement event call for the "more" element. <top> <next> <more> ... Use the fromXML method to create from a more visually symbolic view of what the path represents.
