Class XmlReader.Handler

java.lang.Object

diva.util.xml.XmlReader.Handler

All Implemented Interfaces:

XmlHandler

Enclosing class:

XmlReader

public class XmlReader.Handler
extends Object
implements XmlHandler

Handler is an inner class that implements the Aelfred XmlHandler interface. It constructs XmlElements and also initializes the current XmlDocument from things like the doctype declaration. In verbose mode, it prints out lots of additional info during the parse.

Method Detail

attribute

public void attribute(String name,
                      String value,
                      boolean specified)
               throws Exception

Handle an attribute assignment that is part of an XML element. This method is called prior to the corresponding startElement() call, so it simply accumulates attributes in a hashtable for use by startElement().

Specified by:

attribute in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute.

value - The value of the attribute, or null if the attribute is #IMPLIED and not specified.

specified - True if the value is specified, false if the value comes from the default value in the DTD rather than from the XML file.

Throws:

XmlException - If the name or value is null.

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.

charData

                     int length)
              throws Exception

Append the given character bytes to the character data of the current XML element.

Specified by:

charData in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

Throws:

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.

doctypeDecl

public void doctypeDecl(String name,

                        String systemId)
                 throws Exception

Throws:

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.

endDocument

public void endDocument()
                 throws Exception

End the document. If we've finished the parse and didn't get back to the root of the parse tree, generate an error.

Specified by:

endDocument in interface XmlHandler

Throws:

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.

See Also:

XmlHandler.startDocument()

endElement

public void endElement(String name)
                throws Exception

Move up one level in the parse tree.

Specified by:

endElement in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

name - The element type name.

Throws:

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.

endExternalEntity

public void endExternalEntity(String URI)
                       throws Exception

Move up one level in the external entity tree.

Specified by:

endExternalEntity in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

URI - The URI of the external entity that is ending.

Throws:

XmlException - If given URI was not the URI that was expected, based on the external entity tree.

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.

error

public void error(String message,
                  String sysid,
                  int line,
                  int column)
           throws Exception

Print an error message to the error stream.

Specified by:

error in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

message - The error message.

sysid - The system identifier of the entity that contains the error.

line - The approximate line number of the error.

column - The approximate column number of the error.

                         throws Exception

Handle ignorable whitespace.

Specified by:

processingInstruction in interface XmlHandler

target - The target (the name at the start of the PI).

data - The data, if any (the rest of the PI).

resolveEntity

public Object resolveEntity(String pubID,
                            String sysID)
                     throws Exception

Attempt resolve the public ID representing an XML external entity into a valid string url. If the public ID is non-null and matches the public ID of the document and the document has a DTD specified, return that DTD in a reader. Otherwise, non-null public DTD's are looked up in the default resource bundle, diva/resource/Defaults.properties.

Specified by:

resolveEntity in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

pubID - The public identifier, or null if none was supplied.

sysID - The system identifier.

Returns:

The replacement system identifier, or null to use the default.

Throws:

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.

XmlHandler.startExternalEntity(java.lang.String), XmlHandler.endExternalEntity(java.lang.String)

startDocument

public void startDocument()

Start a document. This method is called just before the parser attempts to read the first entity (the root of the document). It is guaranteed that this will be the first method called. Initialize the parse tree to contain no elements.

Specified by:

startDocument in interface XmlHandler

See Also:

XmlHandler.endDocument()

startElement

public void startElement(String name)

Start an element. This is called at the beginning of each XML element. By the time it is called, all of the attributes for the element will already have been reported using the attribute() method. Create a new XmlElement to represent the element. Set the attributes of the new XmlElement equal to the attributes that have been accumulated since the last call to this method. If this is the first element encountered during this parse, set the root of the parse tree equal to the newly created element. Descend the parse tree into the new element

Specified by:

startElement in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

name - the element type of the element that is beginning.

XmlHandler.attribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, boolean), XmlHandler.endElement(java.lang.String), XmlParser.declaredElements(), XmlParser.getElementContentType(java.lang.String)

startExternalEntity

public void startExternalEntity(String URI)
                         throws Exception

Move down one level in the entity tree.

Specified by:

startExternalEntity in interface XmlHandler

Parameters:

URI - The URI of the external entity that is starting.

Throws:

Exception - The handler may throw any exception.
