Class InitRuleMerger

java.lang.Object
  wt.rule.init.InitRuleMerger

All Implemented Interfaces:

RuleMerger

public class InitRuleMerger

extends Object

implements RuleMerger

A rule merger for INIT rules.

This merger merges rules from left to right. The first rule is merged into the second then the result of this is merged into the third, etc.

Information specified in rules at the beginning of the list takes precedence over information specified in rules towards the end of the list. Therefore, when a rule is merged into another rule, it overwites the attribute values specified by the rule it is merging into. One exception to this rule is if the attribute in the rule being merged into is specified as being final, then that attribute is not overwritten.

Supported API: false

Extendable: false
