public interface Receiver
extends Result

Receiver: This interface represents a recipient of XML tree-walking (push) events. It is based on SAX2's ContentHandler, but adapted to handle additional events, and to use Saxon's name pool. Namespaces and Attributes are handled by separate events following the startElement event. Schema types can be defined for elements and attributes.

The Receiver interface is an important internal interface within Saxon, and provides a powerful mechanism for integrating Saxon with other applications. It has been designed with extensibility and stability in mind. However, it should be considered as an interface designed primarily for internal use, and not as a completely stable part of the public Saxon API.

startElement

void startElement(int nameCode,
                  int typeCode,
                  int locationId,
                  int properties)
                  throws XPathException

Notify the start of an element

Parameters:

nameCode - integer code identifying the name of the element within the name pool.

typeCode - integer code identifying the element's type within the name pool. The value -1 indicates the default type, xs:untyped.

locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.

properties - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no revelant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOptions

Throws:

XPathException

namespace

void namespace(int namespaceCode,
               int properties)
               throws XPathException

Notify a namespace. Namespaces are notified after the startElement event, and before any children for the element. The namespaces that are reported are only required to include those that are different from the parent element. The events represent namespace declarations and undeclarations rather than in-scope namespace nodes: an undeclaration is represented by a namespace code of zero. If the sequence of namespace events contains two A namespace must not conflict with any namespaces already used for element or attribute names.

Parameters:

namespaceCode - an integer: the top half is a prefix code, the bottom half a URI code. These may be translated into an actual prefix and URI using the name pool. A prefix code of zero represents the empty prefix (that is, the default namespace). A URI code of zero represents a URI of "", that is, a namespace undeclaration.

properties - The most important property is REJECT_DUPLICATES. If this property is set, the namespace declaration will be rejected if it conflicts with a previous declaration of the same prefix. If the property is not set, the namespace declaration will be ignored if it conflicts with a previous declaration. This reflects the fact that when copying a tree, namespaces for child elements are emitted before the namespaces of their parent element. Unfortunately this conflicts with the XSLT rule for complex content construction, where the recovery action in the event of conflicts is to take the namespace that comes last. XSLT therefore doesn't recover from this error: it sets the REJECT_DUPLICATES flag, and this is treated as a hard error.

Throws:

XPathException

attribute

void attribute(int nameCode,
               int typeCode,
               CharSequence value,
               int locationId,
               int properties)
               throws XPathException

Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.

Parameters:

nameCode - The name of the attribute, as held in the name pool

typeCode - The type of the attribute, as held in the name pool. The additional bit NodeInfo.IS_DTD_TYPE may be set to indicate a DTD-derived type.

value - the string value of the attribute

locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.

properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:

DISABLE_ESCAPING

Disable escaping for this attribute

NO_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS

Attribute value contains no special characters

Throws:

IllegalStateException: - attempt to output an attribute when there is no open element start tag

XPathException

startContent

void startContent()
                  throws XPathException

Notify the start of the content, that is, the completion of all attributes and namespaces. Note that the initial receiver of output from XSLT instructions will not receive this event, it has to detect it itself. Note that this event is reported for every element even if it has no attributes, no namespaces, and no content.

Throws:

XPathException

endElement

void endElement()
                throws XPathException

Notify the end of an element. The receiver must maintain a stack if it needs to know which element is ending.

Throws:

XPathException

characters

void characters(CharSequence chars,
                int locationId,
                int properties)
                throws XPathException

Notify character data. Note that some receivers may require the character data to be sent in a single event, but in general this is not a requirement.

Parameters:

chars - The characters

locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.

properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:

DISABLE_ESCAPING

Disable escaping for this text node

USE_CDATA

Output as a CDATA section

Throws:

XPathException

processingInstruction

void processingInstruction(String name,
                           CharSequence data,
                           int locationId,
                           int properties)
                           throws XPathException

Output a processing instruction

Parameters:

name - The PI name. This must be a legal name (it will not be checked).

data - The data portion of the processing instruction

locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.

properties - Additional information about the PI. The following bits are defined:

CHECKED

Data is known to be legal (e.g. doesn't contain "?>")

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException: - the content is invalid for an XML processing instruction

XPathException

comment

void comment(CharSequence content,
             int locationId,
             int properties)
             throws XPathException

Notify a comment. Comments are only notified if they are outside the DTD.

Parameters:

content - The content of the comment

locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.

properties - Additional information about the comment. The following bits are defined:

CHECKED

Comment is known to be legal (e.g. doesn't contain "--")

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException: - the content is invalid for an XML comment

XPathException

close

void close()
           throws XPathException

Notify the end of the event stream

Throws:

XPathException

usesTypeAnnotations

boolean usesTypeAnnotations()

Ask whether this Receiver (or the downstream pipeline) makes any use of the type annotations supplied on element and attribute events

Returns:

true if the Receiver makes any use of this information. If false, the caller may supply untyped nodes instead of supplying the type annotation
