All Implemented Interfaces:

Result, Receiver

public class Stripper
extends ProxyReceiver

The RuleBasedStripper class performs whitespace stripping according to the rules of the xsl:strip-space and xsl:preserve-space instructions. It maintains details of which elements need to be stripped. The code is written to act as a SAX-like filter to do the stripping.

Stripper

public Stripper(SpaceStrippingRule rule,
 Receiver next)

Method Details

getAnother

public Stripper getAnother(Receiver next)

Get a clean copy of this stripper. The new copy shares the same PipelineConfiguration as the original, but the underlying receiver (that is, the destination for post-stripping events) is changed.

Parameters:

next - the next receiver in the pipeline for the new Stripper

Returns:

a dublicate of this Stripper, with the output sent to "next".

open

public void open()
          throws XPathException

Callback interface for SAX: not for application use

Specified by:

open in interface Receiver

Overrides:

open in class ProxyReceiver

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

startElement

public void startElement(NodeName elemName,
 SchemaType type,
 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:

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

type - 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

attribute

public void attribute(NodeName nameCode,
 SimpleType typeCode,
 CharSequence value,
 Location locationId,
 int properties)
               throws XPathException

Description copied from class: ProxyReceiver

Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.

Specified by:

attribute in interface Receiver

Overrides:

attribute in class ProxyReceiver

Parameters:

nameCode - The name of the attribute

typeCode - The type of the attribute

value - the string value of the attribute

locationId - The location of the node

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

endElement

public void endElement()
                throws XPathException

Handle an end-of-element event

Specified by:

endElement in interface Receiver

Overrides:

endElement in class ProxyReceiver

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

characters

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

Handle a text node

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

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

Specified by:

usesTypeAnnotations in interface Receiver

Overrides:

usesTypeAnnotations in class ProxyReceiver

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
