The jBATIS persistence framework will help you to significantly reduce the amount of Java code that you normally need to access a relational database. iBATIS simply maps JavaBeans to SQL statements using a very simple XML descriptor.

The newest version!

package com.ibatis.common.xml;

import org.w3c.dom.Node;

/**
 * A nodelet is a sort of callback or event handler that can be registered to handle an XPath event registered with the
 * NodeParser.
 */
public interface Nodelet {

    /**
     * For a registered XPath, the NodeletParser will call the Nodelet's process method for processing.
     * 
     * @param node
     *            The node represents any XML node that can be registered under an XPath supported by the NodeletParser.
     *            Possible nodes are:
     *            
     *            Text - Use node.getNodeValue() for the text value.
     *            
Attribute - Use node.getNodeValue() for the attribute value.
     *            
Element - This is the most flexible type. You can get the node content and iterate over the node's
     *            child nodes if neccessary. This is useful where a single XPath registration cannot describe the
     *            complex structure for a given XML stanza.
     *            
     *
