Class Entry

java.lang.Object
  extended by simple.xml.util.Entry

public abstract class Entry
extends java.lang.Object

The Entry object represents entries to the dictionary object. Every entry must have a name attribute, which is used to establish mappings within the Dictionary object. Each entry entered into the dictionary can be retrieved using its name.

The entry can be serialzed with the dictionary to an XML document. Items stored within the dictionary need to extend this entry object to ensure that they can be mapped and serialized with the dictionary. Implementations should override the root annotation.
