AbstractRuleImpl provides basic services for Rules implementations. Extending this class should make it easier to create a Rules implementation.

AbstractRuleImpl manages the Digester and namespaceUri properties. If the subclass overrides registerRule (rather than add), then the Digester and namespaceURI of the Rule will be set correctly before it is passed to registerRule. The subclass can then perform whatever it needs to do to register the rule.

Since:1.5
