package com.sun.beans.decoder;

This class is intended to handle <long> element. This element specifies long values. The class Long is used as wrapper for these 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:
<long>0xFFFF</long>
is shortcut to
<method name="decode" class="java.lang.Long">
    <string>0xFFFF</string>
</method>
 which is equivalent to Long.decode("0xFFFF") in Java code. 
The following attribute is supported:

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