public abstract class BasicParserConfiguration

extends ParserConfigurationSettings

implements XMLParserConfiguration

A very basic parser configuration. This configuration class can be used as a base class for custom parser configurations. The basic parser configuration creates the symbol table (if not specified at construction time) and manages all of the recognized features and properties.

The basic parser configuration does not mandate any particular pipeline configuration or the use of specific components except for the symbol table. If even this is too much for a basic parser configuration, the programmer can create a new configuration class that implements the XMLParserConfiguration interface.

Subclasses of the basic parser configuration can add their own recognized features and properties by calling the addRecognizedFeature and addRecognizedProperty methods, respectively.

The basic parser configuration assumes that the configuration will be made up of various parser components that implement the XMLComponent interface. If subclasses of this configuration create their own components for use in the parser configuration, then each component should be added to the list of components by calling the addComponent method. The basic parser configuration will make sure to call the reset method of each registered component before parsing an instance document.

This class recognizes the following features and properties:

Constructor Detail

BasicParserConfiguration

protected BasicParserConfiguration()

Default Constructor.

BasicParserConfiguration

protected BasicParserConfiguration(SymbolTable symbolTable)

Constructs a parser configuration using the specified symbol table.

Parameters:

symbolTable - The symbol table to use.

BasicParserConfiguration

protected BasicParserConfiguration(SymbolTable symbolTable,
                                   XMLComponentManager parentSettings)

Constructs a parser configuration using the specified symbol table and parent settings.

Parameters:

symbolTable - The symbol table to use.

parentSettings - The parent settings.

Method Detail

addComponent

protected void addComponent(XMLComponent component)

Adds a component to the parser configuration. This method will also add all of the component's recognized features and properties to the list of default recognized features and properties.

Parameters:

component - The component to add.

parse

public abstract void parse(XMLInputSource inputSource)
                    throws XNIException,
                           java.io.IOException

Parse an XML document.

The parser can use this method to instruct this configuration to begin parsing an XML document from any valid input source (a character stream, a byte stream, or a URI).

Parsers may not invoke this method while a parse is in progress. Once a parse is complete, the parser may then parse another XML document.

This method is synchronous: it will not return until parsing has ended. If a client application wants to terminate parsing early, it should throw an exception.

Specified by:

parse in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

source - The input source for the top-level of the XML document.

Throws:

XNIException - Any XNI exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

java.io.IOException - An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the parser.

setDocumentHandler

public void setDocumentHandler(XMLDocumentHandler documentHandler)

Sets the document handler on the last component in the pipeline to receive information about the document.

Specified by:

setDocumentHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

documentHandler - The document handler.

getDocumentHandler

public XMLDocumentHandler getDocumentHandler()

Returns the registered document handler.

Specified by:

getDocumentHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

setDTDHandler

public void setDTDHandler(XMLDTDHandler dtdHandler)

Sets the DTD handler.

Specified by:

setDTDHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

dtdHandler - The DTD handler.

getDTDHandler

public XMLDTDHandler getDTDHandler()

Returns the registered DTD handler.

Specified by:

getDTDHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

setDTDContentModelHandler

public void setDTDContentModelHandler(XMLDTDContentModelHandler handler)

Sets the DTD content model handler.

Specified by:

setDTDContentModelHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

handler - The DTD content model handler.

getDTDContentModelHandler

public XMLDTDContentModelHandler getDTDContentModelHandler()

Returns the registered DTD content model handler.

Specified by:

getDTDContentModelHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

setEntityResolver

public void setEntityResolver(XMLEntityResolver resolver)

Sets the resolver used to resolve external entities. The EntityResolver interface supports resolution of public and system identifiers.

Specified by:

setEntityResolver in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

resolver - The new entity resolver. Passing a null value will uninstall the currently installed resolver.

getEntityResolver

public XMLEntityResolver getEntityResolver()

Return the current entity resolver.

Specified by:

getEntityResolver in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Returns:

The current entity resolver, or null if none has been registered.

See Also:

setEntityResolver(weblogic.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLEntityResolver)

setErrorHandler

public void setErrorHandler(XMLErrorHandler errorHandler)

Allow an application to register an error event handler.

If the application does not register an error handler, all error events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored; however, normal processing may not continue. It is highly recommended that all SAX applications implement an error handler to avoid unexpected bugs.

Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.

Specified by:

setErrorHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

errorHandler - The error handler.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - If the handler argument is null.

See Also:

getErrorHandler()

getErrorHandler

public XMLErrorHandler getErrorHandler()

Return the current error handler.

Specified by:

getErrorHandler in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Returns:

The current error handler, or null if none has been registered.

See Also:

setErrorHandler(weblogic.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLErrorHandler)

setFeature

public void setFeature(java.lang.String featureId,
                       boolean state)
                throws XMLConfigurationException

Set the state of a feature. Set the state of any feature in a SAX2 parser. The parser might not recognize the feature, and if it does recognize it, it might not be able to fulfill the request.

Specified by:

setFeature in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

featureId - The unique identifier (URI) of the feature.

state - The requested state of the feature (true or false).

Throws:

XMLConfigurationException - If the requested feature is not known.

Overrides:

setFeature in class ParserConfigurationSettings

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String propertyId,
                        java.lang.Object value)
                 throws XMLConfigurationException

setProperty

Specified by:

setProperty in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

propertyId -

value -

Overrides:

               throws XNIException

Set the locale to use for messages.

Specified by:

setLocale in interface XMLParserConfiguration

Parameters:

locale - The locale object to use for localization of messages.

Throws:

XNIException - Thrown if the parser does not support the specified locale.

checkProperty

protected void checkProperty(java.lang.String propertyId)
                      throws XMLConfigurationException

Parameters:

propertyId - The unique identifier (URI) of the property being set.

Throws:

XMLConfigurationException - If the requested feature is not known or supported.

Overrides:

checkProperty in class ParserConfigurationSettings
