Class Emitter

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver

net.sf.saxon.serialize.Emitter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.xml.transform.Result, Receiver, ReceiverWithOutputProperties

Direct Known Subclasses:

BinaryEmitter, XMLEmitter

public abstract class Emitter
extends SequenceReceiver
implements ReceiverWithOutputProperties

Emitter: This abstract class defines methods that must be implemented by components that format SAXON output. There is one emitter for XML, one for HTML, and so on. Additional methods are concerned with setting options and providing a Writer.

The interface is deliberately designed to be as close as possible to the standard SAX2 ContentHandler interface, however, it allows additional information to be made available.

An Emitter is a Receiver, specifically it is a Receiver that can direct output to a Writer or OutputStream, using serialization properties defined in a Properties object.

The Emitter (from 11.0 onwards) writes to a UnicodeWriter, which may itself bridge to a Writer or OutputStream.

Method Detail

setOutputProperties

public void setOutputProperties(java.util.Properties details)
                         throws XPathException

Set output properties

Parameters:

details - the output serialization properties

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs finding the encoding property

getOutputProperties

public java.util.Properties getOutputProperties()

Get the output properties

Specified by:

getOutputProperties in interface ReceiverWithOutputProperties

Returns:

the output serialization properties. The returned value will be null if setOutputProperties() has not been called

setUnicodeWriter

public void setUnicodeWriter(UnicodeWriter unicodeWriter)

setUnparsedEntity

public void setUnparsedEntity(java.lang.String name,
                              java.lang.String uri,
                              java.lang.String publicId)
                       throws XPathException

Set unparsed entity URI. Needed to satisfy the Receiver interface, but not used, because unparsed entities can occur only in input documents, not in output documents.

Specified by:

setUnparsedEntity in interface Receiver

Overrides:

setUnparsedEntity in class SequenceReceiver

Parameters:

name - the entity name

uri - the entity system ID

publicId - the entity public ID

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs

close

public void close()
           throws XPathException

Notify the end of the event stream

Specified by:

close in interface Receiver

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

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)

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

Specified by:

append in class SequenceReceiver

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
