Class SequenceWriter

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver

net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.xml.transform.Result, Receiver

Direct Known Subclasses:

AdaptiveEmitter, JSONSerializer, SequenceCollector, StreamingSequenceWriter

public abstract class SequenceWriter
extends SequenceReceiver

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

Items may be supplied in either "composed" form (by calling the SequenceReceiver.append(Item) method, or in "decomposed" form (by a sequence of calls representing XML push events: Outputter.startDocument(int), Outputter.startElement(NodeName, SchemaType, Location, int), and so on. When items are supplied in decomposed form, a tree will be built, and the resulting document or element node is then written to the sequence in the same way as if it were supplied directly as a NodeInfo item.

Abstract method to be supplied by subclasses: output one item in the sequence.

XPathException - if any failure occurs while writing the item

startDocument

public void startDocument(int properties)
                   throws XPathException

XPathException - if an error occurs

setUnparsedEntity

public void setUnparsedEntity(java.lang.String name,
                              java.lang.String systemID,
                              java.lang.String publicID)
                       throws XPathException

Description copied from class: SequenceReceiver

Notify an unparsed entity URI.

Specified by:

setUnparsedEntity in interface Receiver

Overrides:

setUnparsedEntity in class SequenceReceiver

Parameters:

publicID - The public identifier of the unparsed entity

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

getTreeModel

public TreeModel getTreeModel()

Get the tree model that will be used for creating trees when events are written to the sequence

Returns:

the tree model, if one has been set using setTreeModel(); otherwise null

setTreeModel

public void setTreeModel(TreeModel treeModel)

Set the tree model that will be used for creating trees when events are written to the sequence

Parameters:

treeModel - the tree model to be used. If none has been set, the default tree model for the configuration is used, unless a mutable tree is required and the default tree model is not mutable, in which case a linked tree is used.

endDocument

public void endDocument()
                 throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: Receiver

Notify the end of a document node

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

startElement

public void startElement(NodeName elemName,
                         SchemaType type,
                         AttributeMap attributes,
                         NamespaceMap namespaces,
                         Location location,
                         int properties)
                  throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: Receiver

Notify the start of an element

Parameters:

elemName - the name of the element.

type - the type annotation of the element.

attributes - the attributes of this element

namespaces - the in-scope namespaces of this element: generally this is all the in-scope namespaces, without relying on inheriting namespaces from parent elements

location - an object providing information about the module, line, and column where the node originated

properties - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no relevant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOption

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

endElement

public void endElement()
                throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: Receiver

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

Description copied from class: SequenceReceiver

Append an arbitrary item (node, atomic value, or function) to the output

Specified by:

append in interface Receiver

Specified by:

append in class SequenceReceiver

Parameters:

item - the item to be appended

locationId - the location of the calling instruction, for diagnostics

usesTypeAnnotations

public boolean usesTypeAnnotations()

Description copied from interface: Receiver

Ask whether this Receiver (or the downstream pipeline) makes any use of the type annotations supplied on element and attribute events. The default implementation of this method returns false.

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 (or conversely, it may avoid stripping unwanted type annotations)
