Class CDMNode

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    Attribute, Dimension, EnumTypedef, Group, Variable
    @Deprecated
public abstract class CDMNode
extends Object
    Deprecated.
    Will move to Dap4 module in version 6.
    Define a superclass for all the CDM node classes: Group, Dimension, etc. Define the sort of the node CDMSort so that we can 1. do true switching on node type 2. avoid use of instanceof 3. Use container classes that have more than one kind of node

    Also move various common fields and methods to here.
