Class EventBuffer

All Implemented Interfaces:
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.

    • startDocument Link icon

      public void startDocument(int properties) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify the start of a document node
      Parameters:
      properties - bit-significant integer indicating properties of the document node. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOption
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • endDocument Link icon

      public void endDocument() throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify the end of a document node
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • startElement Link icon

      public void startElement(NodeName elemName, SchemaType typeCode, AttributeMap attributes, NamespaceMap namespaces, Location location, int properties) 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 Link icon

      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 Link icon

      public void characters(UnicodeString chars, Location location, int properties) 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
    • processingInstruction Link icon

      public void processingInstruction(String name, UnicodeString data, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      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
      location - provides information such as line number and system ID.
      properties - Additional information about the PI.
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • comment Link icon

      public void comment(UnicodeString content, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify a comment. Comments are only notified if they are outside the DTD.
      Parameters:
      content - The content of the comment
      location - provides information such as line number and system ID.
      properties - Additional information about the comment.
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • append Link icon

      public void append(Item item, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Description copied from class: SequenceReceiver
      Append an arbitrary item (node, atomic value, or function) to the output
      Specified by:
      append in interface Receiver
      Specified by:
      append in class SequenceReceiver
      Parameters:
      item - the item to be appended
      location - the location of the calling instruction, for diagnostics
      properties - if the item is an element node, this indicates whether its namespaces need to be copied. Values are ReceiverOption.ALL_NAMESPACES; the default (0) means
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • close Link icon

      public void close() throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify the end of the event stream
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • replay Link icon

      public void replay(Receiver out) throws XPathException
      Replay the captured events to a supplied destination
      Parameters:
      out - the destination Receiver to receive the events
      Throws:
      XPathException - if any error occurs
