 public FromXmlRuleSet(InputSource inputSource) 
{
        this(inputSource, new DigesterRuleParser(), new Digester());
}

Constructs a FromXmlRuleSet using the default DigesterRuleParser and rulesDigester.

Parameters:

inputSource - load the xml rules from this InputSource

 public FromXmlRuleSet(URL rulesXml,
    Digester rulesDigester) 
{
        this(rulesXml, new DigesterRuleParser(), rulesDigester);
}

Constructs a FromXmlRuleSet using the default DigesterRuleParser and a ruleDigester for loading the rules xml.

Parameters:

rulesXml - the path to the XML document defining the Digester rules

rulesDigester - the digester to read the rules xml.

 public FromXmlRuleSet(URL rulesXml,
    DigesterRuleParser parser) 
{
        this(rulesXml, parser, new Digester());
}

Parameters:

rulesXml - the path to the XML document defining the Digester rules

parser - an instance of DigesterRuleParser, for parsing the rules from XML

 public FromXmlRuleSet(InputSource inputSource,
    Digester rulesDigester) 
{
        this(inputSource, new DigesterRuleParser(), rulesDigester);
}

Constructs a FromXmlRuleSet using the default DigesterRuleParser and a ruleDigester for loading the rules xml.

Parameters:

inputSource - load the xml rules from this InputSource

rulesDigester - the digester to read the rules xml.

 public FromXmlRuleSet(InputSource inputSource,
    DigesterRuleParser parser) 
{
        this(inputSource, parser, new Digester());
}

Parameters:

inputSource - load the xml rules from this InputSource

parser - an instance of DigesterRuleParser, for parsing the rules from XML

 public FromXmlRuleSet(URL rulesXml,
    DigesterRuleParser parser,
    Digester rulesDigester) 
{
        init(new URLXMLRulesLoader(rulesXml), parser, rulesDigester);
}

Parameters:

rulesXml - the path to the XML document defining the Digester rules

parser - an instance of DigesterRuleParser, for parsing the rules from XML

rulesDigester - the digester used to load the Xml rules.

 public FromXmlRuleSet(InputSource inputSource,
    DigesterRuleParser parser,
    Digester rulesDigester) 
{
        init(new InputSourceXMLRulesLoader(inputSource), parser, rulesDigester);
}

Parameters:

inputSource - load the xml rules from this InputSource

parser - an instance of DigesterRuleParser, for parsing the rules from XML

rulesDigester - the digester used to load the Xml rules.

 public  void addRuleInstances(Digester digester) throws XmlLoadException 
{
        addRuleInstances(digester, null);
}

Adds to the digester the set of Rule instances defined in the XML file for this rule set.

 public  void addRuleInstances(Digester digester,
    String basePath) throws XmlLoadException 
{
        
        URL dtdURL = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(DIGESTER_DTD_PATH);
        if (dtdURL == null) {
            throw new XmlLoadException("Cannot find resource \"" +
                    DIGESTER_DTD_PATH + "\"");
        }
        parser.setDigesterRulesDTD(dtdURL.toString());
        parser.setTarget(digester);
        parser.setBasePath(basePath);
        rulesDigester.addRuleSet(parser);
        rulesDigester.push(parser);
        rulesLoader.loadRules();
}

Adds to the digester the set of Rule instances defined in the XML file for this rule set.

Note that this method doesn't have a matching one on the DigesterLoader class, because it is not expected to be widely used, and DigesterLoader's load method is already heavily overloaded.
