This class is intended to handle <class> element. This element specifies Class values. The result value is created from text of the body of this element. The body parsing is described in the class StringElementHandler. For example:
<class>java.lang.Class</class>
is shortcut to
<method name="forName" class="java.lang.Class">
    <string>java.lang.Class</string>
</method>
 which is equivalent to Class.forName("java.lang.Class") in Java code. 
The following attribute is supported:

id
the identifier of the variable that is intended to store the result
