Member Function Documentation

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::characters IN(acdk::lang::RString chars  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

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.
start The start position in the array.
length The number of characters to read from the array.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

ignorableWhitespace

org::xml::sax::Locator

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::endDocument  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

Receive notification of the end of a document.

The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, and it will be the last method invoked during the parse. The parser shall not invoke this method until it has either abandoned parsing (because of an unrecoverable error) or reached the end of input.

Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also:
startDocument

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::endElement IN(acdk::lang::RString uri,
IN(acdk::lang::RString localName,
IN(acdk::lang::RString qName
throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

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:
uri 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.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::endPrefixMapping IN(acdk::lang::RString prefix  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

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 mapped. This is the empty string when a default mapping scope ends.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException The client may throw an exception during processing.

startPrefixMapping

endElement

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::error IN(RSAXParseException e  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

Receive notification of a recoverable error.

This corresponds to the definition of error in section 1.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, a validating parser would use this callback to report the violation of a validity constraint. The default behaviour is to take no action.

The SAX parser must continue to provide normal parsing events after invoking this method: it should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end. If the application cannot do so, then the parser should report a fatal error even if the XML 1.0 recommendation does not require it to do so.

Filters may use this method to report other, non-XML errors as well.

Parameters:
exception The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also:
org::xml::sax::SAXParseException

Implements org::xml::sax::ErrorHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::fatalError IN(RSAXParseException e  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

Receive notification of a non-recoverable error.

This corresponds to the definition of fatal error in section 1.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, a parser would use this callback to report the violation of a well-formedness constraint.

The application must assume that the document is unusable after the parser has invoked this method, and should continue (if at all) only for the sake of collecting addition error messages: in fact, SAX parsers are free to stop reporting any other events once this method has been invoked.

Parameters:
exception The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

org::xml::sax::SAXParseException

Implements org::xml::sax::ErrorHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::ignorableWhitespace IN(acdk::lang::RString chars  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

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:
ch The characters from the XML document.
start The start position in the array.
length The number of characters to read from the array.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::notationDecl IN(acdk::lang::RString name,
IN(acdk::lang::RString publicId,
IN(acdk::lang::RString systemId
throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::processingInstruction IN(acdk::lang::RString target,
IN(acdk::lang::RString data
throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

Receive notification of a processing instruction.

The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found: note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document element.

A SAX parser must never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

Like characters(), processing instruction data may have characters that need more than one char value.

Parameters:
target The processing instruction target.
data The processing instruction data, or null if none was supplied. The data does not include any whitespace separating it from the target.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual RInputSource org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::resolveEntity IN(acdk::lang::RString publicId,
IN(acdk::lang::RString systemId
throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::setDocumentLocator IN(RLocator locator  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

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 ContentHandler 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.

Parameters:
locator An object that can return the location of any SAX document event.

org::xml::sax::Locator

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::skippedEntity IN(acdk::lang::RString name  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

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:
name 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].
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::startDocument  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

Receive notification of the beginning of a document.

The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any other event callbacks (except for setDocumentLocator).

Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also:
endDocument

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::startElement IN(acdk::lang::RString uri,
IN(acdk::lang::RString localName,
IN(acdk::lang::RString qName,
IN(RAttributes attributes
throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

Receive notification of the beginning of an element.

The Parser will invoke this method at the beginning of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding endElement event for every startElement event (even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement event.

This event allows up to three name components for each element:

  1. the Namespace URI;
  2. the local name; and
  3. the qualified (prefixed) name.

Any or all of these may be provided, depending on the values of the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces and the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes properties:

  • the Namespace URI and local name are required when the namespaces property is true (the default), and are optional when the namespaces property is false (if one is specified, both must be);
  • the qualified name is required when the namespace-prefixes property is true, and is optional when the namespace-prefixes property is false (the default).

Note that the attribute list provided will contain only attributes with explicit values (specified or defaulted): #IMPLIED attributes will be omitted. The attribute list will contain attributes used for Namespace declarations (xmlns* attributes) only if the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes property is true (it is false by default, and support for a true value is optional).

Like characters(), attribute values may have characters that need more than one char value.

Parameters:
uri 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 name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.
atts The attributes attached to the element. If there are no attributes, it shall be an empty Attributes object.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

endElement

org::xml::sax::Attributes

Implements org::xml::sax::ContentHandler.

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::startPrefixMapping IN(acdk::lang::RString prefix,
IN(acdk::lang::RString uri
throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

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 Namespace prefix being declared. An empty string is used for the default element namespace, which has no prefix.
uri The Namespace URI the prefix is mapped to.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException The client may throw an exception during processing.

throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

virtual void org::xml::sax::helpers::DefaultHandler::warning IN(RSAXParseException e  )  throw ( RSAXException ) [inline, virtual]
 

Receive notification of a warning.

SAX parsers will use this method to report conditions that are not errors or fatal errors as defined by the XML 1.0 recommendation. The default behaviour is to take no action.

The SAX parser must continue to provide normal parsing events after invoking this method: it should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end.

Filters may use this method to report other, non-XML warnings as well.

Parameters:
exception The warning information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
Exceptions:
org.xml.sax.SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
