org.apache.commons.digester.plugins.RuleLoader
public abstract class RuleLoader
extends java.lang.Object
Interface for classes which can dynamically load custom
plugin rules associated with a user's plugin class.
Each plugin declaration has an associated RuleLoader instance, and that
instance's addRules method is invoked each time the input xml specifies
that an instance of that plugged-in class is to be created.
This is an abstract class rather than an interface in order to make
it possible to enhance this class in future without breaking binary
compatibility; it is possible to add methods to an abstract class, but
not to an interface.
abstract void | addRules(Digester d, String path) - Configures the digester with custom rules for some plugged-in
class.

addRules
public abstract void addRules(Digester d,
String path)
throws PluginException
Configures the digester with custom rules for some plugged-in
class.
This method is invoked when the start of an xml tag is encountered
which maps to a PluginCreateRule. Any rules added here are removed
from the digester when the end of that xml tag is encountered.
