\ChainReaderHelper
Process a FilterReader chain.
Here, the interesting method is 'getAssembledReader'. The purpose of this one is to create a simple Reader object which apply all filters on another primary Reader object.
For example : In copyFile (phing.util.FileUtils) the primary Reader is a FileReader object (more accuratly, a BufferedReader) previously setted for the source file to copy. So, consider this filterchain :
<filterchain>
<stripphpcomments />
<linecontains>
<contains value="foo">
</linecontains>
<tabtospaces tablength="8" />
getAssembledReader will return a Reader object wich read on each of these filters. Something like this : ('->' = 'which read data from') :
[TABTOSPACES] -> [LINECONTAINS] -> [STRIPPHPCOMMENTS] -> [FILEREADER] (primary reader)
So, getAssembledReader will return the TABTOSPACES Reader object. Then each read done with this Reader object will follow this path.
Hope this explanation is clear :)
