public interface ExtendedContentHandler extends ContentHandler
This interface describes extensions to the SAX ContentHandler interface. It is intended to be used by a serializer. The methods on this interface will implement SAX- like behavior. This allows the gradual collection of information rather than having it all up front. For example the call
 startElement(namespaceURI,localName,qName,atts)
 
could be replaced with the calls
 startElement(namespaceURI,localName,qName)
 addAttributes(atts)
 
If there are no attributes the second call can be dropped. If attributes are to be added one at a time with calls to
 addAttribute(namespaceURI, localName, qName, type, value)

    • addAttribute

      void addAttribute(String uri, String localName, String rawName, String type, String value, boolean XSLAttribute) throws SAXException
      Add at attribute to the current element
      Parameters:
      uri - the namespace URI of the attribute name
      localName - the local name of the attribute (without prefix)
      rawName - the qualified name of the attribute
      type - the attribute type typically character data (CDATA)
      value - the value of the attribute
      XSLAttribute - true if the added attribute is coming from an xsl:attribute element
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • addAttributes

      void addAttributes(Attributes atts) throws SAXException
      Add attributes to the current element
      Parameters:
      atts - the attributes to add.
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • addAttribute

      void addAttribute(String qName, String value)
      Add an attribute to the current element. The namespace URI of the attribute will be calculated from the prefix of qName. The local name will be derived from qName and the type will be assumed to be "CDATA".
      Parameters:
      qName -
      value -
    • characters

      void characters(String chars) throws SAXException
      This method is used to notify of a character event, but passing the data as a character String rather than the standard character array.
      Parameters:
      chars - the character data
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • characters

      void characters(Node node) throws SAXException
      This method is used to notify of a character event, but passing the data as a DOM Node rather than the standard character array.
      Parameters:
      node - a DOM Node containing text.
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • endElement

      void endElement(String elemName) throws SAXException
      This method is used to notify that an element has ended. Unlike the standard SAX method
       endElement(namespaceURI,localName,qName)
       
      only the last parameter is passed. If needed the serializer can derive the localName from the qualified name and derive the namespaceURI from its implementation.
      Parameters:
      elemName - the fully qualified element name.
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • startElement

      void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException
      This method is used to notify that an element is starting. This method is just like the standard SAX method
       startElement(uri,localName,qname,atts)
       
      but without the attributes.
      Parameters:
      uri - the namespace URI of the element
      localName - the local name (without prefix) of the element
      qName - the qualified name of the element
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • startElement

      void startElement(String qName) throws SAXException
      This method is used to notify of the start of an element
      Parameters:
      qName - the fully qualified name of the element
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • namespaceAfterStartElement

      void namespaceAfterStartElement(String uri, String prefix) throws SAXException
      This method is used to notify that a prefix mapping is to start, but after an element is started. The SAX method call
       startPrefixMapping(prefix,uri)
       
      is used just before an element starts and applies to the element to come, not to the current element. This method applies to the current element. For example one could make the calls in this order:
       startElement("prfx8:elem9")
       namespaceAfterStartElement("http://namespace8","prfx8")
       
      Parameters:
      uri - the namespace URI being declared
      prefix - the prefix that maps to the given namespace
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • startPrefixMapping

      boolean startPrefixMapping(String prefix, String uri, boolean shouldFlush) throws SAXException
      This method is used to notify that a prefix maping is to start, which can be for the current element, or for the one to come.
      Parameters:
      prefix - the prefix that maps to the given URI
      uri - the namespace URI of the given prefix
      shouldFlush - if true this call is like the SAX startPrefixMapping(prefix,uri) call and the mapping applies to the element to come. If false the mapping applies to the current element.
      Returns:
      boolean false if the prefix mapping was already in effect (in other words we are just re-declaring), true if this is a new, never before seen mapping for the element.
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • entityReference

      void entityReference(String entityName) throws SAXException
      Notify of an entity reference.
      Parameters:
      entityName - the name of the entity
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • getNamespaceMappings

      NamespaceMappings getNamespaceMappings()
      This method returns an object that has the current namespace mappings in effect.
      Returns:
      NamespaceMappings an object that has the current namespace mappings in effect.
    • getPrefix

      String getPrefix(String uri)
      This method returns the prefix that currently maps to the given namespace URI.
      Parameters:
      uri - the namespace URI
      Returns:
      String the prefix that currently maps to the given URI.
    • getNamespaceURI

      String getNamespaceURI(String name, boolean isElement)
      This method gets the prefix associated with a current element or attribute name.
      Parameters:
      name - the qualified name of an element, or attribute
      isElement - true if it is an element name, false if it is an atttribute name
      Returns:
      String the namespace URI associated with the element or attribute.
    • getNamespaceURIFromPrefix

      String getNamespaceURIFromPrefix(String prefix)
      This method returns the namespace URI currently associated with the prefix.
      Parameters:
      prefix - a prefix of an element or attribute.
      Returns:
      String the namespace URI currently associated with the prefix.
    • setSourceLocator

      void setSourceLocator(SourceLocator locator)
      This method is used to set the source locator, which might be used to generated an error message.
      Parameters:
      locator - the source locator
    • addUniqueAttribute

      void addUniqueAttribute(String qName, String value, int flags) throws SAXException
      Add a unique attribute to the current element. The attribute is guaranteed to be unique here. The serializer can write it out immediately without saving it in a table first. The integer flag contains information about the attribute, which helps the serializer to decide whether a particular processing is needed.
      Parameters:
      qName - the fully qualified attribute name.
      value - the attribute value
      flags - a bitwise flag
      Throws:
      SAXException
    • addXSLAttribute

      void addXSLAttribute(String qName, String value, String uri)
      Add an attribute from an xsl:attribute element.
      Parameters:
      qName - the qualified attribute name (prefix:localName)
      value - the attributes value
      uri - the uri that the prefix of the qName is mapped to.
    • addAttribute

      void addAttribute(String uri, String localName, String rawName, String type, String value) throws SAXException
      Add at attribute to the current element, not from an xsl:attribute element.
      Parameters:
      uri - the namespace URI of the attribute name
      localName - the local name of the attribute (without prefix)
      rawName - the qualified name of the attribute
      type - the attribute type typically character data (CDATA)
      value - the value of the attribute
      Throws:
      SAXException
