Class Interpreters


  • public class Interpreters
    extends java.lang.Object
    The utilities to access interpreters (Interpreter).

    Application developers and deployers rarely need to access this class directly. Rather, they can declare the interpreter class in either zk/config.xml or WEB-INF/zk.xml.
