Class ComplexContentOutputter

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.event.Outputter

net.sf.saxon.event.ComplexContentOutputter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.xml.transform.Result, Receiver

public final class ComplexContentOutputter
extends Outputter
implements Receiver, javax.xml.transform.Result

This class is used for generating complex content, that is, the content of an element or document node. It enforces the rules on the order of events within complex content (attributes and namespaces must come first), and it implements part of the namespace fixup rules, in particular, it ensures that there is a namespace node for the namespace used in the element name and in each attribute name.

The same ComplexContentOutputter may be used for generating an entire XML document; it is not necessary to create a new outputter for each element node.

From Saxon 9.9, the ComplexContentOutputter does not combine top-level events. Unless nested within a startDocument/endDocument or startElement/endElement pair, items such as atomic values, text nodes, attribute nodes, maps and arrays are passed through unchanged to the output. It is typically the responsibility of the Destination object to decide how to combine top-level events (whether to build a single document, whether to insert item separators, etc).

From Saxon 10.0, the handling of namespaces changes. Unlike other receivers, the ComplexContentOutputter can receive individual namespace events as part of the complex content of an element node. The class is now fully responsible for namespace fixup and for namespace inheritance. The mechanism for namespace inheritance is changed; we are now maintaining all the in-scope namespaces for an element rather than a set of deltas, so namespace inheritance (rather than disinheritance) now requires concrete action.

s - The String to be output

locationId - the location of the node in the source, or of the instruction that created it

properties - any special properties of the node

Throws:

XPathException - for any failure

startElement

public void startElement(NodeName elemName,
                         SchemaType typeCode,
                         Location location,
                         int properties)
                  throws XPathException

Output an element start tag.
The actual output of the tag is deferred until all attributes have been output using attribute().

Specified by:

startElement in class Outputter

Parameters:

elemName - The element name

location - the location of the element node (or the instruction that created it)

properties - any special properties of the node

typeCode - the type annotation of the element.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

namespace

public void namespace(java.lang.String prefix,
                      java.lang.String namespaceUri,
                      int properties)
               throws XPathException

Add a namespace node to the content being constructed.

Specified by:

namespace in class Outputter

Parameters:

prefix - The namespace prefix; zero-length string for the default namespace

namespaceUri - The namespace URI. In some cases a zero-length string may be used to indicate a namespace undeclaration.

properties - The REJECT_DUPLICATES property: if 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:

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

namespaces

public void namespaces(NamespaceBindingSet bindings,
                       int properties)
                throws XPathException

Output a set of namespace bindings. This should have the same effect as outputting the namespace bindings individually using namespace(String, String, int), but it may be more efficient. It is used only when copying an element node together with all its namespaces, so less checking is needed that the namespaces form a consistent and complete set

Overrides:

namespaces in class Outputter

Parameters:

bindings - the set of namespace bindings

properties - any special properties. The property ReceiverOption.NAMESPACE_OK means that no checking is needed.

Throws:

XPathException - if any failure occurs

attribute

public void attribute(NodeName attName,
                      SimpleType typeCode,
                      java.lang.String value,
                      Location locationId,
                      int properties)
               throws XPathException

Output an attribute value.

This is added to a list of pending attributes for the current start tag, overwriting any previous attribute with the same name. But in XQuery, duplicate attributes are reported as an error.

This method must NOT be used to output namespace declarations.

Specified by:

attribute in class Outputter

Parameters:

attName - The name of the attribute

value - The value of the attribute

locationId - the location of the node in the source, or of the instruction that created it

properties - Bit fields containing properties of the attribute to be written @throws XPathException if there is no start tag to write to (created using writeStartTag),

typeCode - The type annotation of the attribute

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

startElement

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

Notify the start of an element. This version of the method supplies all attributes and namespaces and implicitly invokes startContent(), which means it cannot be followed by further calls on Outputter.attribute(NodeName, SimpleType, String, Location, int) or namespace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int) to define further attributes and namespaces.

This version of the method does not perform namespace fixup for prefixes used in the element name or attribute names; it is assumed that these prefixes are declared within the namespace map, and that there are no conflicts. The method does, however, perform namespace inheritance: that is, unless properties includes ReceiverOption.DISINHERIT_NAMESPACES, namespaces declared on the parent element and not overridden are implicitly added to the namespace map.

Specified by:

startElement in interface Receiver

Overrides:

startElement in class Outputter

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

Output an element end tag.

Specified by:

endElement in interface Receiver

Specified by:

endElement in class Outputter

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

comment

public void comment(UnicodeString comment,
                    Location locationId,
                    int properties)
             throws XPathException

Write a comment

Specified by:

comment in interface Receiver

Specified by:

comment in class Outputter

Parameters:

comment - The content of the comment

locationId - provides information such as line number and system ID.

properties - Additional information about the comment.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

processingInstruction

public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                  UnicodeString data,
                                  Location locationId,
                                  int properties)
                           throws XPathException

Write a processing instruction

Specified by:

processingInstruction in interface Receiver

Specified by:

processingInstruction in class Outputter

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 - provides information such as line number and system ID.

properties - Additional information about the PI.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

append

public void append(Item item,
                   Location locationId,
                   int copyNamespaces)
            throws XPathException

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

Specified by:

append in interface Receiver

Overrides:

append in class Outputter

Parameters:

item - the item to be appended

locationId - the location of the calling instruction, for diagnostics

copyNamespaces - if the item is an element node, this indicates whether its namespaces need to be copied. Values are ReceiverOption.ALL_NAMESPACES}; the default (0) means

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

getStringReceiver

public UniStringConsumer getStringReceiver(boolean asTextNode)

Get a string-value consumer object that allows an item of type xs:string to be appended one fragment at a time. This potentially allows operations that output large strings to avoid building the entire string in memory. This version of the method, if called at an inner level, outputs the string as a sequence of characters() events, with logic to include space separation where appropriate

Overrides:

getStringReceiver in class Outputter

Parameters:

asTextNode - set to true if the concatenated string values are to be treated * as a text node item rather than a string

Returns:

an object that accepts xs:string values via a sequence of append() calls

close

public void close()
           throws XPathException

Close the output

Specified by:

close in interface Receiver

Overrides:

close in class Outputter

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

startContent

public void startContent()
                  throws XPathException

Flush out a pending start tag

Overrides:

startContent in class Outputter

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

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 Outputter

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
