Class Valve

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    javax.xml.transform.Result, Receiver

    public class Valve
    extends ProxyReceiver
    A Valve is a general-purpose component for use in a pipeline of receivers. It selects an alternative destination for the pipeline events based on the namespace of the first startElement event. There is a primary destination which is selected initially. If the namespace of the first element has a given value, then subsequent output is sent to an alternative destination.

      • Valve

        public Valve​(java.lang.String testNamespace,
                     Receiver primary,
                     Receiver secondary)
        Create a Valve. Events sent to this Valve will be forwarded to the primary receiver, unless the namespace of the first element node matches the test namespace, in which case the events will be forwarded to the secondary receiver
        Parameters:
        testNamespace - the test namespace
        primary - the primary Receiver
        secondary - the secondary Receiver

        public void startElement​(NodeName elemName,
                                 SchemaType type,
                                 AttributeMap attributes,

                          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:
        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
      • wasDiverted

        public boolean wasDiverted()
        Ask (after the first element event has been received) whether output was diverted to the secondary receiver
        Returns:
        true if output was diverted, that is, if the first element node was in the test namespace.
