Class Location

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.Location
public class Location extends Object
Class that models an arbitrary location in a resource.

Typically used to track the location of problematic or erroneous metadata in XML configuration files. For example, a source location might be 'The bean defined on line 76 of beans.properties has an invalid Class'; another source might be the actual DOM Element from a parsed XML Document; or the source object might simply be null.
