Class DefinitionLexer

java.lang.Object
oracle.javatools.parser.AbstractLexer
oracle.javatools.parser.properties.DefinitionLexer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Lexer, DefinitionTokens

public class DefinitionLexer

extends AbstractLexer

implements DefinitionTokens

The DefinitionLexer is an implementation of the Lexer interface for lexing a property definition. Specifically, it is used for retrieving the pieces that make up a property definition, the name, assignment symbol, and the value.

For parsing purposes, if you wish to skip the assignment operator, call setSkipSymbols(true).

Constructor Summary

DefinitionLexer()
Constructs a default DefinitionLexer with a starting position of 0.

Method Summary

void	backup() Unlexes the last found token.
int	lex(LexerToken lexedToken) Scans the text buffer at the current position and returns the token that was found.
void	setPosition(int offset) Sets the current lex (read) position to the given offset in the buffer.
void	setSkipSymbols(boolean skipSymbols) Sets whether the TagLexer should generate tokens for the assignment symbol.
static java.lang.String	tokenToString(int token) Utility routine to map the token to a string representation of the token (for debug printing.)
static java.lang.String	tokenToText(int token) Utility routine to map the token to the original text (if retrievable) of the token (for debug printing.)

Constructor Detail

DefinitionLexer

public DefinitionLexer()

Constructs a default DefinitionLexer with a starting position of 0. Clients must call setTextBuffer() to initialize the text buffer used for the Lexer. To start lexing from an offset other than 0, call setPosition().

Method Detail

setSkipSymbols

public void setSkipSymbols(boolean skipSymbols)

Sets whether the TagLexer should generate tokens for the assignment symbol.

Parameters:

skipSymbols - true to skip the assignment symbol

lex

public int lex(LexerToken lexedToken)

Scans the text buffer at the current position and returns the token that was found. The token and offset information is also stored in the lexedToken instance passed in to the call.

Specified by:

lex in interface Lexer

Specified by:

lex in class AbstractLexer

Parameters:

lexedToken - the instance passed in where token info is stored

Returns:

the token that was found, same as calling lexedToken.getToken() (for convenience)

backup

public void backup()

Unlexes the last found token. The next call to lex() will return the last token and offset information found.

Specified by:

backup in interface Lexer

Specified by:

backup in class AbstractLexer

setPosition

public void setPosition(int offset)

Sets the current lex (read) position to the given offset in the buffer. It is the clients responsibility to ensure that this offset corresponds to the start of the property definition, otherwise unexpected (and incorrect) results may occur.

Specified by:

setPosition in interface Lexer

Overrides:

setPosition in class AbstractLexer

Parameters:

offset - the offset for the next lex() operation.

tokenToString

public static java.lang.String tokenToString(int token)

Utility routine to map the token to a string representation of the token (for debug printing.)

Parameters:

token - the token to map

Returns:

a printable representation of the token

tokenToText

public static java.lang.String tokenToText(int token)

Utility routine to map the token to the original text (if retrievable) of the token (for debug printing.)

Parameters:

token - the token to map

Returns:

a printable representation of the token
