public final class TextSerializer

extends BaseMarkupSerializer

Implements a text serializer supporting both DOM and SAX serializing. For usage instructions see Serializer.

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 BaseMarkupSerializer.serialize(org.w3c.dom.Element) and SAX serializing is done by firing SAX events and using the serializer as a document handler.

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().

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.

Constructor Detail

TextSerializer

public TextSerializer()

Constructs a new serializer. The serializer cannot be used without calling BaseMarkupSerializer.setOutputCharStream(java.io.Writer) or BaseMarkupSerializer.setOutputByteStream(java.io.OutputStream) first.

Method Detail

setOutputFormat

public void setOutputFormat(OutputFormat format)

Overrides:

setOutputFormat in class BaseMarkupSerializer

startElement

public void startElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                         java.lang.String localName,
                         java.lang.String rawName,
                         org.xml.sax.Attributes attrs)

endElement

public void endElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                       java.lang.String localName,
                       java.lang.String rawName)

startElement

public void startElement(java.lang.String tagName,
                         org.xml.sax.AttributeList attrs)

endElement

public void endElement(java.lang.String tagName)

processingInstruction

public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                  java.lang.String code)

Overrides:

processingInstruction in class BaseMarkupSerializer

comment

public void comment(java.lang.String text)

Overrides:

comment in class BaseMarkupSerializer

comment

public void comment(char[] chars,
                    int start,
                    int length)

Overrides:

comment in class BaseMarkupSerializer

characters

public void characters(char[] chars,
                       int start,
                       int length)

Overrides:

characters in class BaseMarkupSerializer

characters

protected void characters(java.lang.String text,
                          boolean unescaped)

startDocument

protected void startDocument(java.lang.String rootTagName)

Called to serialize the document's DOCTYPE by the root element.

This method will check if it has not been called before (BaseMarkupSerializer._started), will serialize the document type declaration, and will serialize all pre-root comments and PIs that were accumulated in the document (see BaseMarkupSerializer.serializePreRoot()). Pre-root will be serialized even if this is not the first root element of the document.

serializeElement

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

Called to serialize a DOM element. Equivalent to calling startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes), endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) and serializing everything inbetween, but better optimized.

Overrides:

serializeElement in class BaseMarkupSerializer

serializeNode

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

Serialize the DOM node. This method is unique to the Text serializer.

Parameters:

node - The node to serialize

Overrides:

serializeNode in class BaseMarkupSerializer

content

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

Overrides:

content in class BaseMarkupSerializer

getEntityRef

protected java.lang.String getEntityRef(int ch)

Overrides:

getEntityRef in class BaseMarkupSerializer
