Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class XMLWrapperFactory
extends AutoMedWrapperFactory

XMLWrapperFactory class. Contains a switch that tells the wrappers produced by the factory class to validate the XML file against a referenced schema. Nevertheless, this class also contains switches for controlling whitespace if the validating switch is off but whitespace control is still needed.
