                   throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: DeclHandler
Report an attribute type declaration.

Only the effective (first) declaration for an attribute will be reported. The type will be one of the strings "CDATA", "ID", "IDREF", "IDREFS", "NMTOKEN", "NMTOKENS", "ENTITY", "ENTITIES", a parenthesized token group with the separator "|" and all whitespace removed, or the word "NOTATION" followed by a space followed by a parenthesized token group with all whitespace removed.

The value will be the value as reported to applications, appropriately normalized and with entity and character references expanded.

Parameters:
arg0 - The name of the associated element.
arg1 - The name of the attribute.
arg2 - A string representing the attribute type.
arg3 - A string representing the attribute defaulting mode ("#IMPLIED", "#REQUIRED", or "#FIXED") or null if none of these applies.
arg4 - A string representing the attribute's default value, or null if there is none.

Description copied from interface: DeclHandler
Report an element type declaration.

The content model will consist of the string "EMPTY", the string "ANY", or a parenthesised group, optionally followed by an occurrence indicator. The model will be normalized so that all parameter entities are fully resolved and all whitespace is removed,and will include the enclosing parentheses. Other normalization (such as removing redundant parentheses or simplifying occurrence indicators) is at the discretion of the parser.

Parameters:
arg0 - The element type name.
arg1 - The content model as a normalized string.
Throws:
SAXException - The application may raise an exception.

Description copied from interface: DeclHandler
Report an internal entity declaration.

Only the effective (first) declaration for each entity will be reported. All parameter entities in the value will be expanded, but general entities will not.

Parameters:
arg0 - The name of the entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%'.
arg1 - The replacement text of the entity.
Throws:
SAXException - The application may raise an exception.
See Also:

closeCDATA

public void closeCDATA()
                throws SAXException

Throws:
SAXException

endElement

public void endElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                       java.lang.String localName,
                       java.lang.String qName)
                throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: ContentHandler
Receive notification of the end of an element.

The SAX parser will invoke this method at the end of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding startElement event for every endElement event (even when the element is empty).

For information on the names, see startElement.

Parameters:
namespaceURI - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.
localName - The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
qName - The qualified XML 1.0 name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.
Throws:
SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See Also:
ContentHandler.endElement(String, String, String)

endPrefixMapping

public void endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix)
                      throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: ContentHandler
End the scope of a prefix-URI mapping.

See startPrefixMapping for details. These events will always occur immediately after the corresponding endElement event, but the order of endPrefixMapping events is not otherwise guaranteed.

Parameters:
prefix - The prefix that was being mapping. This is the empty string when a default mapping scope ends.
Throws:
SAXException - The client may throw an exception during processing.
See Also:
ContentHandler.endPrefixMapping(String)

ignorableWhitespace

public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] arg0,
                                int arg1,
                                int arg2)
                         throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: ContentHandler
Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of whitespace in element content (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using content models.

SAX parsers may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

Parameters:
arg0 - The characters from the XML document.
arg1 - The start position in the array.
arg2 - The number of characters to read from the array.
Throws:
SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See Also:
ContentHandler.ignorableWhitespace(char[], int, int)

setDocumentLocator

public void setDocumentLocator(Locator arg0)
Description copied from class: SerializerBase
Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

Specified by:
setDocumentLocator in interface ContentHandler
Overrides:
setDocumentLocator in class SerializerBase
Parameters:
arg0 - An object that can return the location of any SAX document event. Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler interface.

The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

See Also:
ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator(Locator)

skippedEntity

public void skippedEntity(java.lang.String arg0)
                   throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: ContentHandler
Receive notification of a skipped entity. This is not called for entity references within markup constructs such as element start tags or markup declarations. (The XML recommendation requires reporting skipped external entities. SAX also reports internal entity expansion/non-expansion, except within markup constructs.)

The Parser will invoke this method each time the entity is skipped. Non-validating processors may skip entities if they have not seen the declarations (because, for example, the entity was declared in an external DTD subset). All processors may skip external entities, depending on the values of the http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities and the http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities properties.

Parameters:
arg0 - The name of the skipped entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be the string "[dtd]".
Throws:
SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See Also:
ContentHandler.skippedEntity(String)

startPrefixMapping

public void startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix,
                               java.lang.String uri)
                        throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: ContentHandler
Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping.

The information from this event is not necessary for normal Namespace processing: the SAX XML reader will automatically replace prefixes for element and attribute names when the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces feature is true (the default).

There are cases, however, when applications need to use prefixes in character data or in attribute values, where they cannot safely be expanded automatically; the start/endPrefixMapping event supplies the information to the application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if necessary.

Note that start/endPrefixMapping events are not guaranteed to be properly nested relative to each other: all startPrefixMapping events will occur immediately before the corresponding startElement event, and all endPrefixMapping events will occur immediately after the corresponding endElement event, but their order is not otherwise guaranteed.

There should never be start/endPrefixMapping events for the "xml" prefix, since it is predeclared and immutable.

Parameters:
prefix - The prefix that maps to the URI
uri - The URI for the namespace
Throws:
SAXException - The client may throw an exception during processing.
See Also:
ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(String, String)

startPrefixMapping

public boolean startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix,
                                  java.lang.String uri,
                                  boolean shouldFlush)
                           throws SAXException
Remember the prefix/uri mapping at the current nested element depth.

Parameters:
prefix - The prefix that maps to the URI
uri - The URI for the namespace
shouldFlush - a flag indicating if the mapping applies to the current element or an up coming child (not used).
Returns:
boolean false if the prefix mapping was already in effect (in other words we are just re-declaring), true if this is a new, never before seen mapping for the element.
Throws:
SAXException
See Also:
ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(String, String)

comment

public void comment(char[] arg0,
                    int arg1,
                    int arg2)
             throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler
Report an XML comment anywhere in the document.

This callback will be used for comments inside or outside the document element, including comments in the external DTD subset (if read). Comments in the DTD must be properly nested inside start/endDTD and start/endEntity events (if used).

Parameters:
arg0 - An array holding the characters in the comment.
arg1 - The starting position in the array.
arg2 - The number of characters to use from the array.
Throws:
SAXException - The application may raise an exception.
See Also:
LexicalHandler.comment(char[], int, int)

endCDATA

public void endCDATA()
              throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler
Report the end of a CDATA section.

Throws:
SAXException - The application may raise an exception.
See Also:
LexicalHandler.endCDATA()

endDTD

public void endDTD()
            throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler
Report the end of DTD declarations.

This method is intended to report the end of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

Throws:
SAXException - The application may raise an exception.
See Also:
LexicalHandler.endDTD()

startEntity

public void startEntity(java.lang.String arg0)
                 throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler
Report the beginning of some internal and external XML entities.

The reporting of parameter entities (including the external DTD subset) is optional, and SAX2 drivers that report LexicalHandler events may not implement it; you can use the http://xml.org/sax/features/lexical-handler/parameter-entities feature to query or control the reporting of parameter entities.

General entities are reported with their regular names, parameter entities have '%' prepended to their names, and the external DTD subset has the pseudo-entity name "[dtd]".

When a SAX2 driver is providing these events, all other events must be properly nested within start/end entity events. There is no additional requirement that events from DeclHandler or DTDHandler be properly ordered.

Note that skipped entities will be reported through the skippedEntity event, which is part of the ContentHandler interface.

Because of the streaming event model that SAX uses, some entity boundaries cannot be reported under any circumstances:

These will be silently expanded, with no indication of where the original entity boundaries were.

Note also that the boundaries of character references (which are not really entities anyway) are not reported.

All start/endEntity events must be properly nested.

Parameters:
arg0 - The name of the entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be "[dtd]".
Throws:
SAXException - The application may raise an exception.
See Also:
LexicalHandler.startEntity(String)

public void characters(java.lang.String chars)
                throws SAXException
Description copied from class: ToSAXHandler
Receive notification of character data.

Specified by:
characters in interface ExtendedContentHandler
Overrides:
characters in class ToSAXHandler
Throws:

startElement

public void startElement(java.lang.String elementNamespaceURI,
                         java.lang.String elementLocalName,
                         java.lang.String elementName)
                  throws SAXException
Start an element in the output document. This might be an XML element (data type) or a CDATA section.

Specified by:
startElement in interface ExtendedContentHandler
Overrides:
startElement in class ToSAXHandler
Parameters:
elementNamespaceURI - the URI of the namespace of the element (optional)
elementLocalName - the element name, but without prefix (optional)
elementName - the element name, with prefix, if any (required)
Throws:
SAXException

startElement

public void startElement(java.lang.String elementName)

Specified by:
startElement in interface ExtendedContentHandler
Overrides:
startElement in class ToSAXHandler
Throws:

ExtendedContentHandler.startElement(String)

characters

public void characters(char[] ch,
                       int off,
                       int len)
                throws SAXException
Description copied from interface: ContentHandler
Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.

The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

Individual characters may consist of more than one Java char value. There are two important cases where this happens, because characters can't be represented in just sixteen bits. In one case, characters are represented in a Surrogate Pair, using two special Unicode values. Such characters are in the so-called "Astral Planes", with a code point above U+FFFF. A second case involves composite characters, such as a base character combining with one or more accent characters.

Your code should not assume that algorithms using char-at-a-time idioms will be working in character units; in some cases they will split characters. This is relevant wherever XML permits arbitrary characters, such as attribute values, processing instruction data, and comments as well as in data reported from this method. It's also generally relevant whenever Java code manipulates internationalized text; the issue isn't unique to XML.

Note that some parsers will report whitespace in element content using the ignorableWhitespace method rather than this one (validating parsers must do so).

Parameters:
ch - The characters from the XML document.
off - The start position in the array.
len - The number of characters to read from the array.
Throws:
SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
