public class ReceivingContentHandler
extends Object
implements ContentHandler, LexicalHandler, DTDHandler

ReceivingContentHandler is a glue class that provides a standard SAX ContentHandler interface to a Saxon Receiver. To achieve this it needs to map names supplied as strings to numeric name codes, for which purpose it needs access to a name pool. The class also performs the function of assembling adjacent text nodes.

If the input stream contains the processing instructions assigned by JAXP to switch disable-output-escaping on or off, these will be reflected in properties set in the corresponding characters events. In this case adjacent text nodes will not be combined.

The ReceivingContentHandler is written on the assumption that it is receiving events from a parser configured with http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces set to true and http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes set to false.

When running as a TransformerHandler, we have no control over the feature settings of the sender of the events, and if the events do not follow this pattern then the class may fail in unpredictable ways.

Constructor Detail

ReceivingContentHandler

public ReceivingContentHandler()

Create a ReceivingContentHandler and initialise variables

Method Detail

reset

public void reset()

Set the ReceivingContentHandler to its initial state, except for the local name cache, which is retained

setReceiver

public void setReceiver(Receiver receiver)

Set the receiver to which events are passed. ReceivingContentHandler is essentially a translator that takes SAX events as input and produces Saxon Receiver events as output; these Receiver events are passed to the supplied Receiver

Parameters:

receiver - the Receiver of events

getReceiver

public Receiver getReceiver()

Get the receiver to which events are passed.

Returns:

the underlying Receiver

setPipelineConfiguration

public void setPipelineConfiguration(PipelineConfiguration pipe)

Set the pipeline configuration

Parameters:

pipe - the pipeline configuration. This holds a reference to the Saxon configuration, as well as information that can vary from one pipeline to another

getPipelineConfiguration

public PipelineConfiguration getPipelineConfiguration()

Get the pipeline configuration

Returns:

the pipeline configuration as supplied to setPipelineConfiguration(PipelineConfiguration)

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()

Get the Configuration object

Returns:

the Saxon configuration

setIgnoreIgnorableWhitespace

public void setIgnoreIgnorableWhitespace(boolean ignore)

Set whether "ignorable whitespace" should be ignored. This method is effective only if called after setPipelineConfiguration, since the default value is taken from the configuration.

Parameters:

ignore - true if ignorable whitespace (whitespace in element content that is notified via the ignorableWhitespace(char[], int, int) method) should be ignored, false if it should be treated as ordinary text.

isIgnoringIgnorableWhitespace

public boolean isIgnoringIgnorableWhitespace()

Determine whether "ignorable whitespace" is ignored. This returns the value that was set using setIgnoreIgnorableWhitespace(boolean) if that has been called; otherwise the value from the configuration.

Returns:

true if ignorable whitespace is being ignored

startDocument

public void startDocument()
                   throws SAXException

Receive notification of the beginning of a document.

Specified by:

startDocument in interface ContentHandler

Throws:

SAXException

endDocument

public void endDocument()
                 throws SAXException

Receive notification of the end of a document

Specified by:

endDocument in interface ContentHandler

Throws:

SAXException

setDocumentLocator

public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)

Supply a locator that can be called to give information about location in the source document being parsed.

Specified by:

setDocumentLocator in interface ContentHandler

startPrefixMapping

public void startPrefixMapping(String prefix,
                               String uri)

Notify a namespace prefix to URI binding

Specified by:

startPrefixMapping in interface ContentHandler

endPrefixMapping

public void endPrefixMapping(String prefix)

Notify that a namespace binding is going out of scope

Specified by:

endPrefixMapping in interface ContentHandler

startElement

public void startElement(String uri,
                         String localname,
                         String rawname,
                         Attributes atts)
                  throws SAXException

Receive notification of the beginning of an element.

The Parser will invoke this method at the beginning of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding endElement event for every startElement event (even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement event.

This event allows up to three name components for each element:

1. the Namespace URI;
2. the local name; and
3. the qualified (prefixed) name.

Saxon expects all three of these to be provided.

The attribute list provided should contain only attributes with explicit values (specified or defaulted): #IMPLIED attributes should be omitted. The attribute list should not contain attributes used for Namespace declarations (xmlns* attributes); if it does, Saxon will ignore them, which may lead to unresolved namespace prefixes.

Specified by:

startElement in interface ContentHandler

Parameters:

uri - the Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed

localname - the local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed

rawname - the qualified name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available

atts - the attributes attached to the element. If there are no attributes, it shall be an empty Attributes object. The value of this object after startElement returns is undefined

Throws:

SAXException - any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception

endElement

public void endElement(String uri,
                       String localname,
                       String rawname)
                throws SAXException

Report the end of an element (the close tag)

Specified by:

endElement in interface ContentHandler

Throws:

SAXException

characters

public void characters(char[] ch,
                       int start,
                       int length)

Report character data. Note that contiguous character data may be reported as a sequence of calls on this method, with arbitrary boundaries

Specified by:

characters in interface ContentHandler

ignorableWhitespace

public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch,
                                int start,
                                int length)

Report character data classified as "Ignorable whitespace", that is, whitespace text nodes appearing as children of elements with an element-only content model

Specified by:

ignorableWhitespace in interface ContentHandler

processingInstruction

public void processingInstruction(String name,
                                  String remainder)
                           throws SAXException

Notify the existence of a processing instruction

Specified by:

processingInstruction in interface ContentHandler

Throws:

SAXException

comment

public void comment(char[] ch,
                    int start,
                    int length)
             throws SAXException

Notify the existence of a comment. Note that in SAX this is part of LexicalHandler interface rather than the ContentHandler interface.

Specified by:

comment in interface LexicalHandler

Throws:

SAXException

skippedEntity

public void skippedEntity(String name)

Notify a skipped entity. Saxon ignores this event

Specified by:

skippedEntity in interface ContentHandler

startDTD

public void startDTD(String name,
                     String publicId,
                     String systemId)

Register the start of the DTD. Saxon ignores the DTD; however, it needs to know when the DTD starts and ends so that it can ignore comments in the DTD, which are reported like any other comment, but which are skipped because they are not part of the XPath data model

Specified by:

startDTD in interface LexicalHandler

endDTD

Register the end of the DTD. Comments in the DTD are skipped because they are not part of the XPath data model

Specified by:
