Class SequenceWriter

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver

net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Result, Receiver

Direct Known Subclasses:

SequenceExchanger.SequencePusher, SequenceFilter, SequenceOutputter, SequenceTransmitter

public abstract class SequenceWriter
extends SequenceReceiver

This outputter is used when writing a sequence of atomic values and nodes, for example, when xsl:variable is used with content and an "as" attribute. The outputter builds the sequence; the concrete subclass is responsible for deciding what to do with the resulting items.

This class is not used to build temporary trees. For that, the ComplexContentOutputter is used.

SequenceWriter

public SequenceWriter(PipelineConfiguration pipe)

Method Detail

write

public abstract void write(Item item)
                    throws XPathException

Abstract method to be supplied by subclasses: output one item in the sequence.

Parameters:

item - the item to be written to the sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any failure occurs while writing the item

startDocument

public void startDocument(int properties)
                   throws XPathException

Start of a document node.

Parameters:

properties - bit-significant integer indicating properties of the document node. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOptions

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

adviseReuse

protected boolean adviseReuse()

Decide whether reuse of the SequenceWriter is advisable

Returns:

true if reuse is considered advisable

endDocument

public void endDocument()
                 throws XPathException

Notify the end of a document node

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

startElement

public void startElement(NodeName elemName,
                SchemaType typeCode,
                int locationId,
                int properties)
                  throws XPathException

Output an element start tag.

Parameters:

elemName - The element name code - a code held in the Name Pool

typeCode - Integer code identifying the type of this element. Zero identifies the default type, that is xs:anyType

properties - bit-significant flags indicating any special information

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.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

endElement

public void endElement()
                throws XPathException

Output an element end tag.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

namespace

public void namespace(NamespaceBinding namespaceBinding,
             int properties)
               throws XPathException

Output a namespace declaration.
This is added to a list of pending namespaces for the current start tag. If there is already another declaration of the same prefix, this one is ignored. Note that unlike SAX2 startPrefixMapping(), this call is made AFTER writing the start tag.

Parameters:

namespaceBinding - The namespace binding

properties - Allows special properties to be passed if required

Throws:

XPathException - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.

attribute

public void attribute(NodeName attName,
             SimpleType typeCode,
             CharSequence value,
             int locationId,
             int properties)
               throws XPathException

Output an attribute value.

Parameters:

attName - An integer code representing the name of the attribute, as held in the Name Pool

typeCode - Integer code identifying the type annotation of the attribute; zero represents the default type (xs:untypedAtomic)

value - The value of the attribute

properties - Bit significant flags for passing extra information to the serializer, e.g. to disable escaping

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.

Throws:

XPathException - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.

startContent

public void startContent()
                  throws XPathException

The startContent() event is notified after all namespaces and attributes of an element have been notified, and before any child nodes are notified.

Throws:

XPathException - for any failure

characters

public void characters(CharSequence s,
              int locationId,
              int properties)
                throws XPathException

Produce text content output.

Parameters:

s - The String to be output

properties - bit-significant flags for extra information, e.g. disable-output-escaping

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.

Throws:

XPathException - for any failure

comment

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

Write a comment.

Parameters:

comment - 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.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

processingInstruction

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

Write a processing instruction No-op in this implementation

Parameters:

target - 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.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

close

public void close()
           throws XPathException

Close the output

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

append

public void append(Item item,
          int locationId,
          int copyNamespaces)
            throws XPathException

Append an item to the sequence, performing any necessary type-checking and conversion

Specified by:

append in class SequenceReceiver

Parameters:

item - the item to be appended

locationId - the location of the calling instruction, for diagnostics

copyNamespaces - if the item is an element node, this indicates whether its namespaces need to be copied. Values are NodeInfo.ALL_NAMESPACES, NodeInfo.LOCAL_NAMESPACES, NodeInfo.NO_NAMESPACES

Throws:

XPathException - if the operation fails

usesTypeAnnotations

public 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
