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

      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 ReceiverOptions
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • endDocument

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

      public void startElement(NodeName elemName, SchemaType typeCode, 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.
      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 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 namespaceBindings, int properties) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify one or more namespaces. 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. The events represent namespace declarations and undeclarations rather than in-scope namespace nodes: an undeclaration is represented by a namespace code of zero. If the sequence of namespace events contains two A namespace must not conflict with any namespaces already used for element or attribute names.
      Parameters:
      namespaceBindings - contains the namespace prefix and namespace URI
      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 an error occurs
    • attribute

      public void attribute(NodeName attName, SimpleType typeCode, CharSequence value, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.
      Parameters:
      attName - The name of the attribute
      typeCode - The type annotation of the attribute
      value - the string value of the attribute
      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 attribute
      NO_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS
      Attribute value contains no special characters
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • startContent

      public void startContent() throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      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.
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • endElement

      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

      public void characters(CharSequence 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

      public void processingInstruction(String name, CharSequence 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

      public void comment(CharSequence content, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException

      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

      Specified by:
      append in interface Receiver
