public class LocatorImpl

extends Object

implements Locator —Provides an optional convenience implementation of Locator.

This class is available mainly for application writers, who can use it to make a persistent snapshot of a locator at any point during a document parse:

Locator locator;
Locator startloc;
public void setLocator (Locator locator)
{
        // note the locator
  this.locator = locator;
}
public void startDocument ()
{
        // save the location of the start of the document
        // for future use.
  Locator startloc = new LocatorImpl(locator);
}

Normally, parser writers will not use this class, since it is more efficient to provide location information only ...
