Class LineNumberRetainer

All Implemented Interfaces:
Result, Receiver

public class LineNumberRetainer extends ProxyReceiver
This class is used to adjust the line and column positions reported by a SAX parser. SAX reports the line/column at the end of each event (for example, the position at the end of a text node), whereas what the user wants is typically the position at the start of the event. This class therefore remembers the position reported with one event, and reports it onwards as the position of the next event. Unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem that we get no information about the position of attributes.

There's one complication: the Receiver pipeline doesn't pass location information for an endElement event. Rather than introduce an interface change to pass an extra argument to endElement, we instead register the original SAX Location object in the PipelineConfiguration, and pick the value up from there.

DROPPED from the Saxon 13 build because in edge cases with multiple-entity files, it gets the base URI of nodes wrong.

    • startDocument

      public void startDocument(int properties) throws XPathException
      Start of a document node.
      Specified by:
      startDocument in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      startDocument in class ProxyReceiver
      Parameters:
      properties - bit-significant integer indicating properties of the document node. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOption
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • resetLocation

      public void resetLocation(Location loc)
    • endDocument

      public void endDocument() throws XPathException
      Notify the end of a document node
      Specified by:
      endDocument in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      endDocument in class ProxyReceiver
      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
      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
    • endElement

      public void endElement() throws XPathException
      End of element
      Specified by:
      endElement in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      endElement in class ProxyReceiver
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • characters

      public void characters(UnicodeString chars, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Character data
      Specified by:
      characters in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      characters in class ProxyReceiver
      Parameters:
      chars - The characters
      location - provides information such as line number and system ID.
      properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
      DISABLE_ESCAPING
      Disable escaping for this text node
      USE_CDATA
      Output as a CDATA section
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • processingInstruction

      public void processingInstruction(String target, UnicodeString data, Location location, int properties) throws XPathException
      Processing Instruction
      Specified by:
      processingInstruction in interface Receiver
      Overrides:
      processingInstruction in class ProxyReceiver
      Parameters:
      target - The PI name. This must be a legal name (it will not be checked).
      data - The data portion of the processing instruction
      location - provides information such as line number and system ID.
      properties - Additional information about the PI.
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error occurs
    • comment

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