Field Detail

PKG_NAME

public static final java.lang.String PKG_NAME

The name of the package that this class is in.

Not a public API.

PKG_PATH

public static final java.lang.String PKG_PATH

The same as the name of the package that this class is in except that '.' are replaced with '/'.

Not a public API.

Method Detail

comment

public void comment(java.lang.String data)
             throws SAXException

Receive notification of a comment.

See Also:

ExtendedLexicalHandler.comment(String)

setDocumentLocator

public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)

Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

Parameters:

locator - An object that can return the location of any SAX document event. Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler interface.

The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

addAttribute

public void addAttribute(java.lang.String uri,
                         java.lang.String localName,
                         java.lang.String rawName,
                         java.lang.String type,
                         java.lang.String value,
                         boolean XSLAttribute)
                  throws SAXException

Adds the given attribute to the set of collected attributes , but only if there is a currently open element. An element is currently open if a startElement() notification has occured but the start of the element has not yet been written to the output. In the stream case this means that we have not yet been forced to close the elements opening tag by another notification, such as a character notification.

Parameters:

uri - the URI of the attribute

localName - the local name of the attribute

rawName - the qualified name of the attribute

type - the type of the attribute (probably CDATA)

value - the value of the attribute

XSLAttribute - true if this attribute is coming from an xsl:attriute element

                                  java.lang.String type,
                                  java.lang.String value,

rawName - the qualified name of the attribute

type - the type of the attribute (probably CDATA)
