Class ContentHandlerProxy

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.event.ContentHandlerProxy
All Implemented Interfaces:
Result, Receiver
Direct Known Subclasses:
TypedContentHandler

public class ContentHandlerProxy extends Object implements Receiver
A ContentHandlerProxy is a Receiver that converts events into the form expected by an underlying SAX2 ContentHandler. Relevant events (notably comments) can also be fed to a LexicalHandler.

Note that in general the output passed to a Receiver corresponds to an External General Parsed Entity. A SAX2 ContentHandler only expects to deal with well-formed XML documents, so we only pass it the contents of the first element encountered, unless the saxon:require-well-formed output property is set to "no".

This ContentHandlerProxy provides no access to type information. For a ContentHandler that makes type information available, see TypedContentHandler

The ContentHandlerProxy can also be nominated as a TraceListener, to receive notification of trace events.

    • ContentHandlerProxy

      public ContentHandlerProxy(ContentHandler handler)
      Private constructor (bug 6036)
  • Method Details

    • makeInstance

      public static Receiver makeInstance(ContentHandler handler, Properties serializationProps)
      Public Factory method (bug 6036). This not only creates a ContentHandlerProxy, it also front-ends it with a NamespaceDifferencer to ensure that the namespace maps received by the ContentHandlerProxy represent the differences between the namespaces present on a child element and those present on its parent
      Parameters:
      handler - the SAX content handler to which all events will be directed
    • setUnderlyingContentHandler

      public void setUnderlyingContentHandler(ContentHandler handler)
      Set the underlying content handler. This call is mandatory before using this Receiver. If the content handler is an instance of LexicalHandler, then it will also receive notification of lexical events such as comments.
      Parameters:
      handler - the SAX content handler to which all events will be directed
    • getUnderlyingContentHandler

      public ContentHandler getUnderlyingContentHandler()
      Get the underlying content handler
      Returns:
      the SAX content handler to which all events are being directed
    • setLexicalHandler

      public void setLexicalHandler(LexicalHandler handler)
      Set the Lexical Handler to be used. If called, this must be called AFTER setUnderlyingContentHandler()
      Parameters:
      handler - the SAX lexical handler to which lexical events (such as comments) will be notified.

    • isRequireWellFormed

      public boolean isRequireWellFormed()
      Ask whether the content handler can handle a stream of events that is merely well-balanced, or whether it can only handle a well-formed sequence.
      Returns:
      true if the content handler requires the event stream to represent a well-formed XML document (containing exactly one top-level element node and no top-level text nodes)

      Set whether the content handler can handle a stream of events that is merely well-balanced, or whether it can only handle a well-formed sequence. The default is false.
      Parameters:
      wellFormed - set to true if the content handler requires the event stream to represent a well-formed XML document (containing exactly one top-level element node and no top-level text nodes). Otherwise, multiple top-level elements and text nodes are allowed, as in the XDM model.
    • isUndeclareNamespaces

      public boolean isUndeclareNamespaces()
