Method Detail

open

public void open()

Start of event stream

Specified by:

open in interface Receiver

Overrides:

open in class SequenceReceiver

close

public void close()

End of event stream

startDocument

public void startDocument(int properties)

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

endDocument

public void endDocument()

Notify the end of a document node

startElement

public void startElement(NodeName nameCode,
                         SchemaType typeCode,
                         Location location,
                         int properties)

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.

location -

properties - for future use. Should be set to zero.

namespace

public void namespace(NamespaceBindingSet namespaceBindings,
                      int properties)

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; however, duplicates may be reported. A namespace must not conflict with any namespaces already used for element or attribute names.

Parameters:

namespaceBindings - the prefix/uri pair representing the namespace binding to be written

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:

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: - attempt to output a namespace when there is no open element start tag

attribute

public void attribute(NodeName nameCode,
                      SimpleType typeCode,
                      java.lang.CharSequence value,
                      Location locationId,
                      int properties)

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

locationId -

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 java.lang.IllegalStateException: attempt to output an attribute when there is no open element start tag

value - the string value of the attribute

startContent

public void startContent()

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.

endElement

public void endElement()

End of element

characters

public void characters(java.lang.CharSequence chars,
                       Location locationId,
                       int properties)

Character data

Parameters:

chars - The characters

locationId - 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

processingInstruction

public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                  java.lang.CharSequence data,
                                  Location locationId,
                                  int properties)

Processing Instruction

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 - provides information such as line number and system ID.

properties - Additional information about the PI.

comment

public void comment(java.lang.CharSequence chars,
                    Location locationId,
                    int properties)

Output a comment

Parameters:

chars - The content of the comment

locationId - provides information such as line number and system ID.

properties - Additional information about the comment.

append

public void append(Item item,
                   Location locationId,
                   int copyNamespaces)

Append an arbitrary item (node or atomic value) to the output

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

setUnparsedEntity

public void setUnparsedEntity(java.lang.String name,
                              java.lang.String uri,
                              java.lang.String publicId)

Set the URI for an unparsed entity in the document.

Specified by:

setUnparsedEntity in interface Receiver

Overrides:

setUnparsedEntity in class SequenceReceiver

Parameters:

name - The name of the unparsed entity

uri - The system identifier of the unparsed entity

publicId - The public identifier of the unparsed entity

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
