Class Stripper

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver
      net.sf.saxon.event.ProxyReceiver
          net.sf.saxon.event.Stripper

All Implemented Interfaces:

Result, Receiver

Direct Known Subclasses:

AllElementStripper, RuleBasedStripper, StylesheetStripper

public abstract class Stripper
extends ProxyReceiver

The RuleBasedStripper class performs whitespace stripping according to the rules of the xsl:strip-space and xsl:preserve-space instructions. It maintains details of which elements need to be stripped. The code is written to act as a SAX-like filter to do the stripping.

Stripper

public Stripper()

Method Detail

getAnother

public abstract Stripper getAnother()

Get a clean copy of this stripper. The new copy shares the same PipelineConfiguration as the original, but the underlying receiver (that is, the destination for post-stripping events) is left uninitialized.

isSpacePreserving

public abstract byte isSpacePreserving(int fingerprint)
                                throws XPathException

Decide whether an element is in the set of white-space preserving element types

Parameters:

fingerprint - Identifies the name of the element whose whitespace is to be preserved

Returns:

ALWAYS_PRESERVE if the element is in the set of white-space preserving element types, ALWAYS_STRIP if the element is to be stripped regardless of the xml:space setting, and STRIP_DEFAULT otherwise

Throws:

XPathException - if the rules are ambiguous and ambiguities are to be reported as errors

open

public void open()
          throws XPathException

Callback interface for SAX: not for application use

Specified by:

open in interface Receiver

Overrides:

open in class ProxyReceiver

Throws:

XPathException

startElement

public void startElement(int nameCode,
                         int typeCode,
                         int locationId,
                         int properties)
                  throws XPathException

Description copied from class: ProxyReceiver

Notify the start of an element

Specified by:

startElement in interface Receiver

Overrides:

startElement in class ProxyReceiver

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.

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 - properties of the element node

Throws:

XPathException

attribute

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

Description copied from class: ProxyReceiver

Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.

Specified by:

attribute in interface Receiver

Overrides:

attribute in class ProxyReceiver

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

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

endElement

public void endElement()
                throws XPathException

Handle an end-of-element event

Specified by:

endElement in interface Receiver

Overrides:

endElement in class ProxyReceiver

Throws:

XPathException

characters

public void characters(CharSequence chars,
                       int locationId,
                       int properties)
                throws XPathException

Handle a text node

Specified by:

characters in interface Receiver

Overrides:

characters in class ProxyReceiver

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:

XPathException

usesTypeAnnotations

public boolean usesTypeAnnotations()

Ask whether this Receiver (or the downstream pipeline) makes any use of the type annotations supplied on element and attribute events

Specified by:

usesTypeAnnotations in interface Receiver

Overrides:

usesTypeAnnotations in class ProxyReceiver

Returns:

true if the Receiver makes any use of this information. If false, the caller may supply untyped nodes instead of supplying the type annotation
