Class SequenceWriter

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver
      extended by net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceWriter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Result, Receiver
Direct Known Subclasses:
SequenceExchanger.SequencePusher, SequenceFilter, SequenceOutputter, SequenceTransmitter

public abstract class SequenceWriter
extends SequenceReceiver

This outputter is used when writing a sequence of atomic values and nodes, for example, when xsl:variable is used with content and an "as" attribute. The outputter builds the sequence; the concrete subclass is responsible for deciding what to do with the resulting items.

This class is not used to build temporary trees. For that, the ComplexContentOutputter is used.

Constructor Detail

SequenceWriter

public SequenceWriter()
Method Detail

write

public abstract void write(Item item)
                    throws XPathException
Abstract method to be supplied by subclasses: output one item in the sequence.

Throws:
XPathException

hasOpenNodes

public boolean hasOpenNodes()
Determine whether there are any open document or element nodes in the output


startDocument

public void startDocument(int properties)
                   throws XPathException
Start of a document node.

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 a document node

Throws:
XPathException

startElement

public void startElement(int nameCode,
                         int typeCode,
                         int locationId,
                         int properties)
                  throws XPathException
Output an element start tag.

Parameters:
nameCode - The element name code - a code held in the Name Pool
typeCode - Integer code identifying the type of this element. Zero identifies the default type, that is xs:anyType
properties - bit-significant flags indicating any special information
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.
Throws:
XPathException

endElement

public void endElement()
                throws XPathException
Output an element end tag.

Throws:
XPathException

namespace

public void namespace(int nscode,
                      int properties)
               throws XPathException
Output a namespace declaration.
This is added to a list of pending namespaces for the current start tag. If there is already another declaration of the same prefix, this one is ignored. Note that unlike SAX2 startPrefixMapping(), this call is made AFTER writing the start tag.

Parameters:
nscode - The namespace code
properties - Allows special properties to be passed if required
Throws:
XPathException - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.

attribute

public void attribute(int nameCode,
                      int typeCode,
                      CharSequence value,
                      int locationId,
                      int properties)
               throws XPathException
Output an attribute value.

Parameters:
nameCode - An integer code representing the name of the attribute, as held in the Name Pool
typeCode - Integer code identifying the type annotation of the attribute; zero represents the default type (xs:untypedAtomic)
value - The value of the attribute
properties - Bit significant flags for passing extra information to the serializer, e.g. to disable escaping
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.
Throws:
XPathException - if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag), or if character content has been written since the start tag was written.

startContent

public void startContent()
                  throws XPathException
The startContent() event is notified after all namespaces and attributes of an element have been notified, and before any child nodes are notified.

Throws:
XPathException - for any failure

characters

public void characters(CharSequence s,
                       int locationId,
                       int properties)
                throws XPathException
Produce text content output.

Parameters:
s - The String to be output
properties - bit-significant flags for extra information, e.g. disable-output-escaping
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.
Throws:
XPathException - for any failure

comment

public void comment(CharSequence comment,
                    int locationId,
                    int properties)
             throws XPathException
Write a comment.

Parameters:
comment - The content of the comment
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 comment. The following bits are defined:
CHECKED
Comment is known to be legal (e.g. doesn't contain "--")
Throws:
XPathException

processingInstruction

public void processingInstruction(String target,
                                  CharSequence data,
                                  int locationId,
                                  int properties)
                           throws XPathException
Write a processing instruction No-op in this implementation

Parameters:
target - The PI name. This must be a legal name (it will not be checked).
data - 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.

close

public void close()
           throws XPathException

Specified by:
