## Class LocationAttributes

- java.lang.Object
- - com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.location.LocationAttributes

-     public class LocationAttributes
      extends Object

  A class to handle location information stored in attributes. These attributes are typically setup using `LocationAttributes.Pipe` which augments the SAX stream with additional attributes, e.g.:

       <root xmlns:loc="http://struts.apache.org/xwork/location"
             loc:src="file://path/to/file.xml"
             loc:line="1" loc:column="1">
         <foo loc:src="file://path/to/file.xml" loc:line="2" loc:column="3"/>
       </root>

  Since:
    2.1.8
