Class BaseMarkupSerializer

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.xml.serialize.BaseMarkupSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

DOMSerializer, Serializer, ContentHandler, DocumentHandler, DTDHandler, DeclHandler, LexicalHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

HTMLSerializer, TextSerializer, XMLSerializer

Deprecated. This class was deprecated in Xerces 2.9.0. It is recommended that new applications use the DOM Level 3 LSSerializer or JAXP's Transformation API for XML (TrAX) for serializing XML. See the Xerces documentation for more information.

public abstract class BaseMarkupSerializer
extends java.lang.Object
implements ContentHandler, DocumentHandler, LexicalHandler, DTDHandler, 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 setOutputCharStream(java.io.Writer) or setOutputByteStream(java.io.OutputStream) for the writer and setOutputFormat(org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat) for the output format.

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(Document) 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.

Throws:

SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See Also:

ContentHandler.endDocument()

characters

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

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ContentHandler

Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.

The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

Individual characters may consist of more than one Java char value. There are two important cases where this happens, because characters can't be represented in just sixteen bits. In one case, characters are represented in a Surrogate Pair, using two special Unicode values. Such characters are in the so-called "Astral Planes", with a code point above U+FFFF. A second case involves composite characters, such as a base character combining with one or more accent characters.

Your code should not assume that algorithms using char-at-a-time idioms will be working in character units; in some cases they will split characters. This is relevant wherever XML permits arbitrary characters, such as attribute values, processing instruction data, and comments as well as in data reported from this method. It's also generally relevant whenever Java code manipulates internationalized text; the issue isn't unique to XML.

Note that some parsers will report whitespace in element content using the ignorableWhitespace method rather than this one (validating parsers must do so).

Specified by:

characters in interface ContentHandler

Specified by:

characters in interface DocumentHandler

Parameters:

chars - the characters from the XML document

start - the start position in the array

length - the number of characters to read from the array

Throws:

SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See Also:

ContentHandler.ignorableWhitespace(char[], int, int), Locator

ignorableWhitespace

public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] chars,
                                int start,
                                int length)
                         throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ContentHandler

Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of whitespace in element content (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using content models.

SAX parsers may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

Specified by:

ignorableWhitespace in interface ContentHandler

Specified by:

ignorableWhitespace in interface DocumentHandler

Parameters:

chars - the characters from the XML document

start - the start position in the array

length - the number of characters to read from the array

Throws:

SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See Also:

ContentHandler.characters(char[], int, int)

processingInstruction

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

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ContentHandler

Receive notification of a processing instruction.

The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found: note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document element.

A SAX parser must never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

Like characters(), processing instruction data may have characters that need more than one char value.

Specified by:

processingInstruction in interface ContentHandler

Specified by:

processingInstruction in interface DocumentHandler

Parameters:

target - the processing instruction target

code - the processing instruction data, or null if none was supplied. The data does not include any whitespace separating it from the target

Throws:

SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

processingInstructionIO

public void processingInstructionIO(java.lang.String target,
                                    java.lang.String code)
                             throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

comment

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

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler

Report an XML comment anywhere in the document.

This callback will be used for comments inside or outside the document element, including comments in the external DTD subset (if read). Comments in the DTD must be properly nested inside start/endDTD and start/endEntity events (if used).

Specified by:

comment in interface LexicalHandler

Parameters:

chars - An array holding the characters in the comment.

start - The starting position in the array.

length - The number of characters to use from the array.

Throws:

SAXException - The application may raise an exception.

comment

public void comment(java.lang.String text)
             throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

startCDATA

public void startCDATA()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler

Report the start of a CDATA section.

The contents of the CDATA section will be reported through the regular characters event; this event is intended only to report the boundary.

Specified by:

startCDATA in interface LexicalHandler

See Also:

LexicalHandler.endCDATA()

endCDATA

public void endCDATA()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler

public void endPreserving()

Deprecated.

endDocument

public void endDocument()
                 throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Called at the end of the document to wrap it up. Will flush the output stream and throw an exception if any I/O error occured while serializing.

Specified by:

endDocument in interface ContentHandler

Specified by:

endDocument in interface DocumentHandler

Throws:

SAXException - An I/O exception occured during serializing

See Also:

ContentHandler.startDocument()

startEntity

public void startEntity(java.lang.String name)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler

Report the beginning of some internal and external XML entities.

The reporting of parameter entities (including the external DTD subset) is optional, and SAX2 drivers that report LexicalHandler events may not implement it; you can use the http://xml.org/sax/features/lexical-handler/parameter-entities feature to query or control the reporting of parameter entities.

General entities are reported with their regular names, parameter entities have '%' prepended to their names, and the external DTD subset has the pseudo-entity name "[dtd]".

When a SAX2 driver is providing these events, all other events must be properly nested within start/end entity events. There is no additional requirement that events from DeclHandler or DTDHandler be properly ordered.

Note that skipped entities will be reported through the skippedEntity event, which is part of the ContentHandler interface.

Because of the streaming event model that SAX uses, some entity boundaries cannot be reported under any circumstances:

• general entities within attribute values
• parameter entities within declarations

These will be silently expanded, with no indication of where the original entity boundaries were.

Note also that the boundaries of character references (which are not really entities anyway) are not reported.

All start/endEntity events must be properly nested.

Specified by:

startEntity in interface LexicalHandler

Parameters:

name - The name of the entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be "[dtd]".

See Also:

LexicalHandler.endEntity(java.lang.String), DeclHandler.internalEntityDecl(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), DeclHandler.externalEntityDecl(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

endEntity

public void endEntity(java.lang.String name)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler

Report the end of an entity.

Specified by:

endEntity in interface LexicalHandler

Parameters:

name - The name of the entity that is ending.

See Also:

LexicalHandler.startEntity(java.lang.String)

setDocumentLocator

public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ContentHandler

Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the ContentHandler interface.

The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation SAX event callbacks after startDocument returns and before endDocument is called. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

Specified by:

setDocumentLocator in interface ContentHandler

Specified by:

setDocumentLocator in interface DocumentHandler

Parameters:

locator - an object that can return the location of any SAX document event

See Also:

Locator

skippedEntity

public void skippedEntity(java.lang.String name)
                   throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ContentHandler

Receive notification of a skipped entity. This is not called for entity references within markup constructs such as element start tags or markup declarations. (The XML recommendation requires reporting skipped external entities. SAX also reports internal entity expansion/non-expansion, except within markup constructs.)

The Parser will invoke this method each time the entity is skipped. Non-validating processors may skip entities if they have not seen the declarations (because, for example, the entity was declared in an external DTD subset). All processors may skip external entities, depending on the values of the http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities and the http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities properties.

Specified by:

skippedEntity in interface ContentHandler

Parameters:

name - the name of the skipped entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be the string "[dtd]"

Throws:

SAXException - any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception

startPrefixMapping

public void startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix,
                               java.lang.String uri)
                        throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ContentHandler

Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping.

The information from this event is not necessary for normal Namespace processing: the SAX XML reader will automatically replace prefixes for element and attribute names when the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces feature is true (the default).

There are cases, however, when applications need to use prefixes in character data or in attribute values, where they cannot safely be expanded automatically; the start/endPrefixMapping event supplies the information to the application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if necessary.

Note that start/endPrefixMapping events are not guaranteed to be properly nested relative to each other: all startPrefixMapping events will occur immediately before the corresponding startElement event, and all endPrefixMapping events will occur immediately after the corresponding endElement event, but their order is not otherwise guaranteed.

There should never be start/endPrefixMapping events for the "xml" prefix, since it is predeclared and immutable.

Specified by:

startPrefixMapping in interface ContentHandler

Parameters:

prefix - the Namespace prefix being declared. An empty string is used for the default element namespace, which has no prefix.

uri - the Namespace URI the prefix is mapped to

Throws:

SAXException - the client may throw an exception during processing

See Also:

ContentHandler.endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String), ContentHandler.startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)

endPrefixMapping

public void endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix)
                      throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: ContentHandler

End the scope of a prefix-URI mapping.

See startPrefixMapping for details. These events will always occur immediately after the corresponding endElement event, but the order of endPrefixMapping events is not otherwise guaranteed.

Specified by:

endPrefixMapping in interface ContentHandler

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix that was being mapped. This is the empty string when a default mapping scope ends.

Throws:

SAXException - the client may throw an exception during processing

See Also:

ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String, java.lang.String), ContentHandler.endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

startDTD

public final void startDTD(java.lang.String name,
                           java.lang.String publicId,
                           java.lang.String systemId)
                    throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler

Report the start of DTD declarations, if any.

This method is intended to report the beginning of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

All declarations reported through DTDHandler or DeclHandler events must appear between the startDTD and endDTD events. Declarations are assumed to belong to the internal DTD subset unless they appear between startEntity and endEntity events. Comments and processing instructions from the DTD should also be reported between the startDTD and endDTD events, in their original order of (logical) occurrence; they are not required to appear in their correct locations relative to DTDHandler or DeclHandler events, however.

Note that the start/endDTD events will appear within the start/endDocument events from ContentHandler and before the first startElement event.

Specified by:

startDTD in interface LexicalHandler

Parameters:

name - The document type name.

publicId - The declared public identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared.

systemId - The declared system identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared. (Note that this is not resolved against the document base URI.)

Throws:

SAXException - The application may raise an exception.

See Also:

LexicalHandler.endDTD(), LexicalHandler.startEntity(java.lang.String)

endDTD

public void endDTD()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: LexicalHandler

Report the end of DTD declarations.

This method is intended to report the end of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

Specified by:

endDTD in interface LexicalHandler

See Also:

LexicalHandler.startDTD(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

elementDecl

public void elementDecl(java.lang.String name,
                        java.lang.String model)
                 throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: DeclHandler

Report an element type declaration.

The content model will consist of the string "EMPTY", the string "ANY", or a parenthesised group, optionally followed by an occurrence indicator. The model will be normalized so that all parameter entities are fully resolved and all whitespace is removed,and will include the enclosing parentheses. Other normalization (such as removing redundant parentheses or simplifying occurrence indicators) is at the discretion of the parser.

Specified by:

elementDecl in interface DeclHandler

Parameters:

name - The element type name.

model - The content model as a normalized string.

Throws:

SAXException - The application may raise an exception.

attributeDecl

public void attributeDecl(java.lang.String eName,
                          java.lang.String aName,
                          java.lang.String type,
                          java.lang.String valueDefault,
                          java.lang.String value)
                   throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: DeclHandler

Report an attribute type declaration.

Only the effective (first) declaration for an attribute will be reported. The type will be one of the strings "CDATA", "ID", "IDREF", "IDREFS", "NMTOKEN", "NMTOKENS", "ENTITY", "ENTITIES", a parenthesized token group with the separator "|" and all whitespace removed, or the word "NOTATION" followed by a space followed by a parenthesized token group with all whitespace removed.

The value will be the value as reported to applications, appropriately normalized and with entity and character references expanded.

Specified by:

attributeDecl in interface DeclHandler

Parameters:

eName - The name of the associated element.

aName - The name of the attribute.

type - A string representing the attribute type.

valueDefault - A string representing the attribute defaulting mode ("#IMPLIED", "#REQUIRED", or "#FIXED") or null if none of these applies.

value - A string representing the attribute's default value, or null if there is none.

Throws:

SAXException - The application may raise an exception.

unparsedEntityDecl

public void unparsedEntityDecl(java.lang.String name,
                               java.lang.String publicId,
                               java.lang.String systemId,
                               java.lang.String notationName)
                        throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: DTDHandler

Receive notification of an unparsed entity declaration event.

Note that the notation name corresponds to a notation reported by the notationDecl event. It is up to the application to record the entity for later reference, if necessary; unparsed entities may appear as attribute values.

If the system identifier is a URL, the parser must resolve it fully before passing it to the application.

Specified by:

unparsedEntityDecl in interface DTDHandler

Parameters:

name - The unparsed entity's name.

publicId - The entity's public identifier, or null if none was given.

systemId - The entity's system identifier.

notationName - The name of the associated notation.

Throws:

SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

notationDecl

public void notationDecl(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.String publicId,
                         java.lang.String systemId)
                  throws SAXException

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: DTDHandler

Receive notification of a notation declaration event.

It is up to the application to record the notation for later reference, if necessary; notations may appear as attribute values and in unparsed entity declarations, and are sometime used with processing instruction target names.

At least one of publicId and systemId must be non-null. If a system identifier is present, and it is a URL, the SAX parser must resolve it fully before passing it to the application through this event.

There is no guarantee that the notation declaration will be reported before any unparsed entities that use it.

Specified by:

notationDecl in interface DTDHandler

Parameters:

name - The notation name.

publicId - The notation's public identifier, or null if none was given.

systemId - The notation's system identifier, or null if none was given.

Throws:

SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
