Interface PullProvider

    • Method Detail

      • setPipelineConfiguration

        void setPipelineConfiguration​(PipelineConfiguration pipe)
        Set configuration information. This must only be called before any events have been read.
        Parameters:
        pipe - the pipeline configuration

      • getPipelineConfiguration

        PipelineConfiguration getPipelineConfiguration()
        Get configuration information.
        Returns:
        the pipeline configuration

      • current

        PullProvider.Event current()
        Get the event most recently returned by next(), or by other calls that change the position, for example getStringValue() and skipToMatchingEnd(). This method does not change the position of the PullProvider.
        Returns:
        the current event

      • getAttributes

        AttributeMap getAttributes()
                    throws XPathException
        Get the attributes associated with the current element. This method must be called only after a START_ELEMENT event has been notified. The contents of the returned AttributeMap are immutable.

        Attributes may be read before or after reading the namespaces of an element, but must not be read after the first child node has been read, or after calling one of the methods skipToMatchingEnd(), getStringValue(), or getTypedValue().

        Returns:
        an AttributeMap representing the attributes of the element that has just been notified.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

      • getNamespaceDeclarations

        NamespaceBinding[] getNamespaceDeclarations()
                                     throws XPathException
        Get the namespace declarations associated with the current element. This method must be called only after a START_ELEMENT event has been notified. In the case of a top-level START_ELEMENT event (that is, an element that either has no parent node, or whose parent is not included in the sequence being read), the NamespaceDeclarations object returned will contain a namespace declaration for each namespace that is in-scope for this element node. In the case of a non-top-level element, the NamespaceDeclarations will contain a set of namespace declarations and undeclarations, representing the differences between this element and its parent.

        It is permissible for this method to return namespace declarations that are redundant.

        The NamespaceDeclarations object is guaranteed to remain unchanged until the next START_ELEMENT event, but may then be overwritten. The object should not be modified by the client.

        Namespaces may be read before or after reading the attributes of an element, but must not be read after the first child node has been read, or after calling one of the methods skipToMatchingEnd(), getStringValue(), or getTypedValue().

        Returns:
        the namespace declarations associated with the current START_ELEMENT event.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

      • skipToMatchingEnd

        PullProvider.Event skipToMatchingEnd()
                              throws XPathException
        Skip the current subtree. This method may be called only immediately after a START_DOCUMENT or START_ELEMENT event. This call returns the matching END_DOCUMENT or END_ELEMENT event; the next call on next() will return the event following the END_DOCUMENT or END_ELEMENT.
        Returns:
        the matching END_DOCUMENT or END_ELEMENT event
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the method is called at any time other than immediately after a START_DOCUMENT or START_ELEMENT event.
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

      • close

        void close()
        Close the event reader. This indicates that no further events are required. It is not necessary to close an event reader after PullProvider.Event.END_OF_INPUT has been reported, but it is recommended to close it if reading terminates prematurely. Once an event reader has been closed, the effect of further calls on next() is undefined.

      • getStringValue

        java.lang.CharSequence getStringValue()
                               throws XPathException
        Get the string value of the current element, text node, processing-instruction, or top-level attribute or namespace node, or atomic value.

        In other situations the result is undefined and may result in an IllegalStateException.

        If the most recent event was a PullProvider.Event.START_ELEMENT, this method causes the content of the element to be read. The current event on completion of this method will be the corresponding PullProvider.Event.END_ELEMENT. The next call of next() will return the event following the END_ELEMENT event.

        Returns:
        the String Value of the node in question, defined according to the rules in the XPath data model.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

      • getSchemaType

        SchemaType getSchemaType()
        Get the type annotation of the current attribute or element node, or atomic value. The result of this method is undefined unless the most recent event was START_ELEMENT, ATTRIBUTE, or ATOMIC_VALUE.
        Returns:
        the type annotation.
        Since:
        9.4; replace the method getTypeAnnotation() which returned the integer fingerprint of the type

      • getAtomicValue

        AtomicValue getAtomicValue()
        Get an atomic value. This call may be used only when the last event reported was ATOMIC_VALUE. This indicates that the PullProvider is reading a sequence that contains a free-standing atomic value; it is never used when reading the content of a node.
        Returns:
        the atomic value

      • getSourceLocator

        Location getSourceLocator()
        Get the location of the current event. For an event stream representing a real document, the location information should identify the location in the lexical XML source. For a constructed document, it should identify the location in the query or stylesheet that caused the node to be created. A value of null can be returned if no location information is available.
        Returns:
        the SourceLocator giving the location of the current event, or null if no location information is available

      • getUnparsedEntities

        java.util.List<UnparsedEntity> getUnparsedEntities()
        Get a list of unparsed entities.
        Returns:
        a list of unparsed entities, or null if the information is not available, or an empty list if there are no unparsed entities. Each item in the list will be an instance of UnparsedEntity
