  org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.DTDDVFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

DTDDVFactoryImpl

public abstract class DTDDVFactory
extends java.lang.Object

The factory to create and return DTD types. The implementation should store the created datatypes in static data, so that they can be shared by multiple parser instance, and multiple threads.
