Class SequenceWriter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Result, Receiver
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    AdaptiveEmitter, JSONSerializer, MessageListener2Proxy, MessageListenerProxy, SequenceOutputter

    public abstract class SequenceWriter
    extends SequenceReceiver
    The SequenceWriter is used when writing a sequence of items, for example, when xsl:variable is used with content and an "as" attribute. The SequenceWriter builds the sequence; the concrete subclass is responsible for deciding what to do with the resulting items.

    Items may be supplied in either "composed" form (by calling the SequenceReceiver.append(Item) method, or in "decomposed" form (by a sequence of calls representing XML push events: startDocument(int), startElement(NodeName, SchemaType, Location, int), and so on. When items are supplied in decomposed form, a tree will be built, and the resulting document or element node is then written to the sequence in the same way as if it were supplied directly as a NodeInfo item.

    This class is not used to build temporary trees. For that, the ComplexContentOutputter is used. The ComplexContentOutputter provides richer functionality than this class: it detects illegal sequences of events, detects duplicate or inconsistent attributes and namespaces, performs namespace fixup, allocates prefixes where necessary, and detects where it is necessary to call startContent() to mark the end of a start tag. By contrast, this class should only be used where it is known that the sequence of events is complete and consistent.

        public abstract void write​(Item item)
                            throws XPathException
        Abstract method to be supplied by subclasses: output one item in the sequence.
        Parameters:
        item - the item to be written to the sequence
        Throws:
        XPathException - if any failure occurs while writing the item

        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify the start of a document node
        Parameters:
        properties - bit-significant integer indicating properties of the document node. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOptions
        Throws:

      • getTreeModel

        public TreeModel getTreeModel()
        Get the tree model that will be used for creating trees when events are written to the sequence
        Returns:
        the tree model, if one has been set using setTreeModel(); otherwise null
      • setTreeModel

        public void setTreeModel​(TreeModel treeModel)
        Set the tree model that will be used for creating trees when events are written to the sequence

        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • startElement

        public void startElement​(NodeName elemName,
                                 SchemaType typeCode,
                                 Location location,

        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify the start of an element
        Parameters:
        elemName - the name of the element.
        typeCode - the type annotation of the element.
        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 revelant properties, zero is supplied. The definitions of the bits are in class ReceiverOptions
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • endElement

        public void endElement()
                        throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify the end of an element. The receiver must maintain a stack if it needs to know which element is ending.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • namespace

        public void namespace​(NamespaceBindingSet namespaceBindings,
                              int properties)
                       throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify one or more namespaces. Namespaces are notified after the startElement event, and before any children for the element. The namespaces that are reported are only required to include those that are different from the parent element. The events represent namespace declarations and undeclarations rather than in-scope namespace nodes: an undeclaration is represented by a namespace code of zero. If the sequence of namespace events contains two A namespace must not conflict with any namespaces already used for element or attribute names.
        Parameters:
        namespaceBindings - contains the namespace prefix and namespace URI
        properties - The most important property is REJECT_DUPLICATES. If this property is 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
      • attribute

        public void attribute​(NodeName attName,
                              SimpleType typeCode,

                              Location locationId,
                              int properties)
                       throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.
        Parameters:
        attName - The name of the attribute
        typeCode - The type annotation of the attribute
        value - the string value of the attribute
        locationId - provides information such as line number and system ID.
        properties - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
        DISABLE_ESCAPING
        Disable escaping for this attribute
        NO_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS
        Attribute value contains no special characters
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • startContent

        public void startContent()
                          throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify the start of the content, that is, the completion of all attributes and namespaces. Note that the initial receiver of output from XSLT instructions will not receive this event, it has to detect it itself. Note that this event is reported for every element even if it has no attributes, no namespaces, and no content.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs

                        throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Notify character data. Note that some receivers may require the character data to be sent in a single event, but in general this is not a requirement.
        Parameters:
        s - The characters
        locationId - provides information such as line number and system ID.

      • usesTypeAnnotations

        public boolean usesTypeAnnotations()
        Description copied from interface: Receiver
        Ask whether this Receiver (or the downstream pipeline) makes any use of the type annotations supplied on element and attribute events. The default implementation of this method returns false.
        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)
