Subject: the parser classes


Ok if you update now you will see I have refactored a bit.

I have 5 Parsing interfaces. I now have a flatfile package and a survey pacakge.

In the flatfile package I have 2 abstract classes and 3 Parser classes and two text files that I will probably get rid of later.

The survey parsers will use one of the 3 Parser classes as its strategy. For example a SurveyLineParser will load a file of lines and parse them.
A SurveyStationParser will load and parse a file of survey stations.

ASurveyParser will load a file of Lines and a file of stations which go together.

A FlatFileModel is the equivalent of a DOM yet it is for a flat file.

There could have been other ways to structure this, but I had to go with something. So this is it.

You mentioned our own api for xml, I didnt look at that guys source in SurveyParser.java yet I assumed he used the Standard Java xml api's
