All Implemented Interfaces:

MetaBeanFinder, MetaBeanEnricher, XMLMetaBeanRegistry

public class XMLMetaBeanManager
extends MetaBeanManager
implements XMLMetaBeanRegistry, MetaBeanEnricher

Description: internal implementation class to construct metabeans with factories and from xstream xml files. You can register different XMLMetaBeanLoaders (see addLoader()) to register xstream-xml-files that contain meta-data. You can merge + unify meta data with method enrichCopies().
