Class EventBuffer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    javax.xml.transform.Result, Receiver
    public class EventBuffer
extends SequenceReceiver
    An EventBuffer is a receiver of events that records the events in memory for subsequent replay. It is used, for example, in the implementation of try/catch, where events cannot be written directly to the final serializer in case an error occurs and is caught.

    Note that events are retained along with their properties, so the class implements "sticky disable-output-escaping" - text nodes can have selected characters marked with the disable-escaping property.

                  throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify the start of an element
        Parameters:
        elemName - the name of the element.
        typeCode - the type annotation of the element.
        attributes - the attributes of this element
        namespaces - the in-scope namespaces of this element: generally this is all the in-scope namespaces, without relying on inheriting namespaces from parent elements
        location - an object providing information about the module, line, and column where the node originated
        properties - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no relevant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOption
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs

      • endElement

        public void endElement()
                throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify the end of an element. The receiver must maintain a stack if it needs to know which element is ending.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs

      • characters

        public void characters​(java.lang.CharSequence chars,
                       Location location,

                throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        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
        location - provides information such as line number and system ID.
        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 - if an error occurs

        location - provides information such as line number and system ID.
        properties - Additional information about the PI.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
