public class ParserConfigurationSettings
extends java.lang.Object
implements XMLComponentManager

This class implements the basic operations for managing parser configuration features and properties. This utility class can be used as a base class for parser configurations or separately to encapsulate a number of parser settings as a component manager.

This class can be constructed with a "parent" settings object (in the form of an XMLComponentManager) that allows parser configuration settings to be "chained" together.

ParserConfigurationSettings

public ParserConfigurationSettings(XMLComponentManager parent)
Constructs a parser configuration settings object with a parent settings object.

Method Detail

addRecognizedFeatures

public void addRecognizedFeatures(java.lang.String[] featureIds)
Allows a parser to add parser specific features to be recognized and managed by the parser configuration.

Parameters:
featureIds - An array of the additional feature identifiers to be recognized.

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.

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.

addRecognizedProperties

public void addRecognizedProperties(java.lang.String[] propertyIds)
Allows a parser to add parser specific properties to be recognized and managed by the parser configuration.

Parameters:
propertyIds - An array of the additional property identifiers to be recognized.

setProperty

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

Parameters:
propertyId -
value -
Throws:
XMLConfigurationException - If the requested feature is not known.

getFeature

public boolean getFeature(java.lang.String featureId)
                   throws XMLConfigurationException
Returns the state of a feature.

Specified by:
getFeature in interface XMLComponentManager
Parameters:
featureId - The feature identifier.
Returns:
true if the feature is supported
Throws:
XMLConfigurationException - Thrown for configuration error. In general, components should only throw this exception if it is really a critical error.

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String propertyId)
                             throws XMLConfigurationException
Returns the value of a property.

Specified by:
getProperty in interface XMLComponentManager
Parameters:
propertyId - The property identifier.
Returns:
the value of the property
Throws:
XMLConfigurationException - Thrown for configuration error. In general, components should only throw this exception if it is really a critical error.
