All Implemented Interfaces:
Result, Receiver

public final class ComplexContentOutputter extends SequenceReceiver
This class is used for generating complex content, that is, the content of an element or document node. It enforces the rules on the order of events within complex content (attributes and namespaces must come first), and it implements part of the namespace fixup rules, in particular, it ensures that there is a namespace node for the namespace used in the element name and in each attribute name.

The same ComplexContentOutputter may be used for generating an entire XML document; it is not necessary to create a new outputter for each element node.

From Saxon 9.9, the ComplexContentOutputter does not combine top-level events. Unless nested within a startDocument/endDocument or startElement/endElement pair, items such as atomic values, text nodes, attribute nodes, maps and arrays are passed through unchanged to the output. It is typically the responsibility of the Destination object to decide how to combine top-level events (whether to build a single document, whether to insert item separators, etc).

      public void characters(CharSequence s, Location locationId, int properties) throws XPathException
      Produce text content output.
      Special characters are escaped using XML/HTML conventions if the output format requires it.
      Parameters:
      s - The String to be output
      locationId - the location of the node in the source, or of the instruction that created it
      properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
      DISABLE_ESCAPING
      Disable escaping for this text node
      USE_CDATA
      Output as a CDATA section

    • startElement

      public void startElement(NodeName elemName, SchemaType typeCode, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Output an element start tag.
      The actual output of the tag is deferred until all attributes have been output using attribute().
      Parameters:
      elemName - The element name
      location - the location of the element node (or the instruction that created it)
      typeCode - the type annotation of the element.
      properties - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no revelant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOptions
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • namespace

      public void namespace(NamespaceBindingSet nsBindings, int properties) throws XPathException
      Output one or more namespace declarations.
      This is added to a list of pending namespaces for the current start tag. If there is already another declaration of the same prefix, this one is ignored, unless the REJECT_DUPLICATES flag is set, in which case this is an error. Note that unlike SAX2 startPrefixMapping(), this call is made AFTER writing the start tag.
      Parameters:
      nsBindings - The namespace bindings
      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:
      XPathException - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.
    • attribute

      public void attribute(NodeName attName, SimpleType typeCode, CharSequence value, Location locationId, int properties) throws XPathException
      Output an attribute value.
      This is added to a list of pending attributes for the current start tag, overwriting any previous attribute with the same name.
      This method should NOT be used to output namespace declarations.
      Parameters:
      attName - The name of the attribute
      value - The value of the attribute
      locationId - the location of the node in the source, or of the instruction that created it
      properties - Bit fields containing properties of the attribute to be written @throws XPathException if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.
      typeCode - The type annotation of the attribute
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • endElement
