public class CommentStripper
extends ProxyReceiver

The CommentStripper class is a filter that removes all comments and processing instructions. It also concatenates text nodes that are split by comments and PIs. This follows the rules for processing stylesheets; it is also used for removing comments and PIs from the tree seen by XPath expressions used to process XSD 1.1 assertions

Method Detail

startElement

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

Description copied from class: ProxyReceiver

Notify the start of an element

Specified by:

startElement in interface Receiver

Overrides:

startElement in class ProxyReceiver

Parameters:

nameCode - integer code identifying the name of the element within the name pool.

typeCode - the element's type annotation.

location - a location associated with the event (typically either a location in the source document or the stylesheet)

properties - properties of the element node

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

endElement

public void endElement()
                throws XPathException

Callback interface for SAX: not for application use

Specified by:

endElement in interface Receiver

Overrides:

endElement in class ProxyReceiver

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

characters

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

Handle a text node. Because we're often handling stylesheets on this path, whitespace text nodes will often be stripped but we can't strip them immediately because of the case [element] [!-- comment --]text[/element], where the space before the comment is considered significant. But it's worth going to some effort to avoid uncompressing the whitespace in the more common case, so that it can easily be detected and stripped downstream.

Specified by:

characters in interface Receiver

Overrides:

characters in class ProxyReceiver

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

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

comment

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

Remove comments

Specified by:

comment in interface Receiver

Overrides:

comment in class ProxyReceiver

Parameters:

chars - The content of the comment

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

properties - Additional information about the comment.

processingInstruction

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

Remove processing instructions

Specified by:

processingInstruction in interface Receiver

Overrides:

processingInstruction in class ProxyReceiver

Parameters:

name - 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.
