Class Emitter

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.saxon.event.Emitter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Result, Receiver

Direct Known Subclasses:

PTreeEmitter, XMLEmitter

public abstract class Emitter
extends Object
implements Result, Receiver

Emitter: This abstract class defines methods that must be implemented by components that format SAXON output. There is one emitter for XML, one for HTML, and so on. Additional methods are concerned with setting options and providing a Writer.

The interface is deliberately designed to be as close as possible to the standard SAX2 ContentHandler interface, however, it allows additional information to be made available. An Emitter is a Receiver, specifically it is a Receiver that can direct output to a Writer or OutputStream, using serialization properties defined in a Properties object.

Constructor Detail

Emitter

public Emitter()

Method Detail

setPipelineConfiguration

public void setPipelineConfiguration(PipelineConfiguration pipe)

Set the pipelineConfiguration

Specified by:

setPipelineConfiguration in interface Receiver

Parameters:

pipe - the pipeline configuration

getPipelineConfiguration

public PipelineConfiguration getPipelineConfiguration()

Get the pipeline configuration used for this document

Specified by:

getPipelineConfiguration in interface Receiver

Returns:

the pipeline configuration

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()

Get the configuration used for this document

Returns:

the configuration

setSystemId

public void setSystemId(String systemId)

Set the System ID

Specified by:

setSystemId in interface Result

Specified by:

setSystemId in interface Receiver

Parameters:

systemId - the system identifier (=base URI)

getSystemId

public String getSystemId()

Get the System ID

Specified by:

getSystemId in interface Result

setOutputProperties

public void setOutputProperties(Properties details)
                         throws XPathException

Set output properties

Parameters:

details - the output serialization properties

Throws:

XPathException

getOutputProperties

public Properties getOutputProperties()

Get the output properties

Returns:

the output serialization properties. The returned value will be null if setOutputProperties() has not been called

setStreamResult

public void setStreamResult(StreamResult result)
                     throws XPathException

Set the StreamResult acting as the output destination of the Emitter

Parameters:

result - the output destination

Throws:

XPathException

makeWriter

protected void makeWriter()
                   throws XPathException

Make a Writer for this Emitter to use, given a StreamResult.

Throws:

XPathException

usesWriter

public boolean usesWriter()

Determine whether the Emitter wants a Writer for character output or an OutputStream for binary output. The standard Emitters all use a Writer, so this returns true; but a subclass can override this if it wants to use an OutputStream

Returns:

true if a Writer is needed, as distinct from an OutputStream

setWriter

public void setWriter(Writer writer)
               throws XPathException

Set the output destination as a character stream

Parameters:

writer - the Writer to use as an output destination

Throws:

XPathException

getWriter

public Writer getWriter()

Get the output writer

Returns:

the Writer being used as an output destination, if any

setOutputStream

public void setOutputStream(OutputStream stream)
                     throws XPathException

Set the output destination as a byte stream.

Note that if a specific encoding (other than the default, UTF-8) is required, then setOutputProperties(java.util.Properties) must be called before calling this method.

Parameters:

stream - the OutputStream being used as an output destination

Throws:

XPathException

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()

Get the output stream

Returns:

the OutputStream being used as an output destination, if any

setUnparsedEntity

public void setUnparsedEntity(String name,
                              String uri,
                              String publicId)
                       throws XPathException

Set unparsed entity URI. Needed to satisfy the Receiver interface, but not used, because unparsed entities can occur only in input documents, not in output documents.

Specified by:

setUnparsedEntity in interface Receiver

Parameters:

name - the entity name

uri - the entity system ID

publicId - the entity public ID

Throws:

XPathException
