public abstract class BaseMarkupSerializer

extends java.lang.Object

implements org.xml.sax.ContentHandler, org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler, org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler, org.xml.sax.DTDHandler, org.xml.sax.ext.DeclHandler, DOMSerializer, Serializer

Base class for a serializer supporting both DOM and SAX pretty serializing of XML/HTML/XHTML documents. Derives classes perform the method-specific serializing, this class provides the common serializing mechanisms.

The serializer must be initialized with the proper writer and output format before it can be used by calling #init. The serializer can be reused any number of times, but cannot be used concurrently by two threads.

If an output stream is used, the encoding is taken from the output format (defaults to UTF-8). If a writer is used, make sure the writer uses the same encoding (if applies) as specified in the output format.

The serializer supports both DOM and SAX. DOM serializing is done by calling serialize(org.w3c.dom.Element) and SAX serializing is done by firing SAX events and using the serializer as a document handler. This also applies to derived class.

If an I/O exception occurs while serializing, the serializer will not throw an exception directly, but only throw it at the end of serializing (either DOM or SAX's DocumentHandler.endDocument().

For elements that are not specified as whitespace preserving, the serializer will potentially break long text lines at space boundaries, indent lines, and serialize elements on separate lines. Line terminators will be regarded as spaces, and spaces at beginning of line will be stripped.

When indenting, the serializer is capable of detecting seemingly element content, and serializing these elements indented on separate lines. An element is serialized indented when it is the first or last child of an element, or immediate following or preceding another element.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.

Specified by:

serializeNode

protected void serializeNode(org.w3c.dom.Node node)

Serialize the DOM node. This method is shared across XML, HTML and XHTML serializers and the differences are masked out in a separate serializeElement(org.w3c.dom.Element).

Parameters:

node - The node to serialize

See Also:

serializeElement(org.w3c.dom.Element)

content

protected weblogic.apache.xml.serialize.ElementState content()

Must be called by a method about to print any type of content. If the element was just opened, the opening tag is closed and will be matched to a closing tag. Returns the current element state with empty and afterElement set to false.

Returns:

The current element state

characters

protected void characters(java.lang.String text)

Called to print the text contents in the prevailing element format. Since this method is capable of printing text as CDATA, it is used for that purpose as well. White space handling is determined by the current element state. In addition, the output format can dictate whether the text is printed as CDATA or unescaped.

Parameters:

text - The text to print

unescaped - True is should print unescaped

getEntityRef

protected abstract java.lang.String getEntityRef(char ch)

Returns the suitable entity reference for this character value, or null if no such entity exists. Calling this method with '&' will return "&".

Parameters:

ch - Character value

Returns:

Character entity name, or null

serializeElement

protected abstract void serializeElement(org.w3c.dom.Element elem)

Called to serializee the DOM element. The element is serialized based on the serializer's method (XML, HTML, XHTML).

Parameters:

elem - The element to serialize

serializePreRoot

protected void serializePreRoot()

Comments and PIs cannot be serialized before the root element, because the root element serializes the document type, which generally comes first. Instead such PIs and comments are accumulated inside a vector and serialized by calling this method. Will be called when the root element is serialized and when the document finished serializing.

printText

protected final void printText(char[] chars,
                               int start,
                               int length,
                               boolean preserveSpace,
                               boolean unescaped)

Called to print additional text with whitespace handling. If spaces are preserved, the text is printed as if by calling #printText(String) with a call to #breakLine for each new line. If spaces are not preserved, the text is broken at space boundaries if longer than the line width; Multiple spaces are printed as such, but spaces at beginning of line are removed.

Parameters:

text - The text to print

preserveSpace - Space preserving flag

unescaped - Print unescaped

printText

protected final void printText(java.lang.String text,
                               boolean preserveSpace,
                               boolean unescaped)

printDoctypeURL

protected void printDoctypeURL(java.lang.String url)

Print a document type public or system identifier URL. Encapsulates the URL in double quotes, escapes non-printing characters and print it equivalent to printText(char[], int, int, boolean, boolean).

Parameters:

url - The document type url to print

printEscaped

protected void printEscaped(char ch)

printEscaped

protected void printEscaped(java.lang.String source)

Escapes a string so it may be printed as text content or attribute value. Non printable characters are escaped using character references. Where the format specifies a deault entity reference, that reference is used (e.g. <).

Parameters:

source - The string to escape

getElementState

protected weblogic.apache.xml.serialize.ElementState getElementState()

Return the state of the current element.

Returns:

Current element state

enterElementState

protected weblogic.apache.xml.serialize.ElementState enterElementState(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                                                                       java.lang.String localName,

Enter a new element state for the specified element. Tag name and space preserving is specified, element state is initially empty.

Returns:

Current element state, or null

leaveElementState

protected weblogic.apache.xml.serialize.ElementState leaveElementState()

Leave the current element state and return to the state of the parent element. If this was the root element, return to the state of the document.

Returns:

Previous element state

isDocumentState

protected boolean isDocumentState()

Returns true if in the state of the document. Returns true before entering any element and after leaving the root element.

Returns:

True if in the state of the document

getPrefix

protected java.lang.String getPrefix(java.lang.String namespaceURI)

Returns the namespace prefix for the specified URI. If the URI has been mapped to a prefix, returns the prefix, otherwise returns null.

Parameters:

namespaceURI - The namespace URI

Returns:

The namespace prefix if known, or null
