  • Constructor Details

    • TreeBuilder

      public TreeBuilder()
      create a Builder and initialise variables
  • Method Details

    • getCurrentRoot

      public NodeInfo getCurrentRoot()
      Get the current root node. This will normally be a document node, but if the root of the tree is an element node, it can be an element.
      Overrides:
      getCurrentRoot in class Builder
      Returns:
      the root of the tree that is currently being built, or that has been most recently built using this builder
    • reset

      public void reset()
      Description copied from class: Builder
      Reset the builder to its initial state. The most important effect of calling this method (implemented in subclasses) is to release any links to the constructed document tree, allowing the memory occupied by the tree to released by the garbage collector even if the Builder is still in memory. This can happen because the Builder is referenced from a parser in the Configuration's parser pool.
      Overrides:
      reset in class Builder
    • setAllocateSequenceNumbers

      public void setAllocateSequenceNumbers(boolean allocate)
      Set whether the builder should allocate sequence numbers to elements as they are added to the tree. This is normally done, because it provides a quick way of comparing document order. But nodes added using XQuery update are not sequence-numbered.
      Parameters:
      allocate - true if sequence numbers are to be allocated
    • setNodeFactory

      public void setNodeFactory(NodeFactory factory)
      Set the Node Factory to use. If none is specified, the Builder uses its own.
      Parameters:
      factory - the node factory to be used. This allows custom objects to be used to represent the elements in the tree.
    • open

      public void open() throws XPathException
      Open the stream of Receiver events
      Specified by:
      open in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      open in class Builder
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • startDocument

      public void startDocument(int properties) throws XPathException
      Start of a document node. This event is ignored: we simply add the contained elements to the current document
      Specified by:
      startDocument in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      startDocument in class Builder
      Parameters:
      properties - bit-significant integer indicating properties of the document node. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOptions
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • endDocument

      public void endDocument() throws XPathException
      Notify the end of the document
      Specified by:
      endDocument in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      endDocument in class Builder
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • close

      public void close() throws XPathException
      Close the stream of Receiver events
      Specified by:
      close in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      close in class Builder
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • startElement

      public void startElement(int nameCode, int typeCode, int locationId, int properties) throws XPathException
      Notify the start of an element
      Parameters:
      nameCode - integer code identifying the name of the element within the name pool.
      typeCode - integer code identifying the element's type within the name pool. The value -1 indicates the default type, xs:untyped.
      locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
      properties - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no revelant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOptions
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • namespace

      public void namespace(int namespaceCode, int properties)
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify a namespace. Namespaces are notified after the startElement event, and before any children for the element. The namespaces that are reported are only required to include those that are different from the parent element. The events represent namespace declarations and undeclarations rather than in-scope namespace nodes: an undeclaration is represented by a namespace code of zero. If the sequence of namespace events contains two A namespace must not conflict with any namespaces already used for element or attribute names.
      Parameters:
      namespaceCode - an integer: the top half is a prefix code, the bottom half a URI code. These may be translated into an actual prefix and URI using the name pool. A prefix code of zero represents the empty prefix (that is, the default namespace). A URI code of zero represents a URI of "", that is, a namespace undeclaration.
      properties - The most important property is REJECT_DUPLICATES. If this property is set, the namespace declaration will be rejected if it conflicts with a previous declaration of the same prefix. If the property is not set, the namespace declaration will be ignored if it conflicts with a previous declaration. This reflects the fact that when copying a tree, namespaces for child elements are emitted before the namespaces of their parent element. Unfortunately this conflicts with the XSLT rule for complex content construction, where the recovery action in the event of conflicts is to take the namespace that comes last. XSLT therefore doesn't recover from this error: it sets the REJECT_DUPLICATES flag, and this is treated as a hard error.
    • attribute

      public void attribute(int nameCode, int typeCode, CharSequence value, int locationId, int properties) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.
      Parameters:
      nameCode - The name of the attribute, as held in the name pool
      typeCode - The type of the attribute, as held in the name pool. The additional bit NodeInfo.IS_DTD_TYPE may be set to indicate a DTD-derived type.
      value - the string value of the attribute
      locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
      properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
      DISABLE_ESCAPING
      Disable escaping for this attribute
      NO_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS
      Attribute value contains no special characters
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • startContent

      public void startContent() throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Receiver
      Notify the start of the content, that is, the completion of all attributes and namespaces. Note that the initial receiver of output from XSLT instructions will not receive this event, it has to detect it itself. Note that this event is reported for every element even if it has no attributes, no namespaces, and no content.
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • endElement

      public void endElement() throws XPathException
      Notify the end of an element

      Notify a text node. Adjacent text nodes must have already been merged
      Parameters:
      chars - The characters
      locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
      properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
      DISABLE_ESCAPING
      Disable escaping for this text node
      USE_CDATA
      Output as a CDATA section
      Throws:

      remainder - The data portion of the processing instruction
      locationId - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationProvider to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
      properties - Additional information about the PI. The following bits are defined:
      CHECKED
      Data is known to be legal (e.g. doesn't contain "?>")
    • comment

      public void comment(CharSequence chars, int locationId, int properties) throws XPathException
      Notify a comment
      Parameters:

      CHECKED
      Comment is known to be legal (e.g. doesn't contain "--")
      Throws:
      XPathException
    • graftElement

      public void graftElement(ElementImpl element) throws XPathException
      graftElement() allows an element node to be transferred from one tree to another. This is a dangerous internal interface which is used only to contruct a stylesheet tree from a stylesheet using the "literal result element as stylesheet" syntax. The supplied element is grafted onto the current element as its only child.
      Parameters:
      element - the element to be grafted in as a new child.
      Throws:
      XPathException

      Set an unparsed entity URI for the document
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the unparsed entity
      uri - The system identifier of the unparsed entity
      publicId - The public identifier of the unparsed entity
