Class TreeReceiver

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Result, Receiver

    public class TreeReceiver
    extends SequenceReceiver
    A TreeReceiver acts as a bridge between a SequenceReceiver, which can receive events for constructing any kind of sequence, and an ordinary Receiver, which only handles events relating to the building of trees. To do this, it has to process any items added to the sequence using the append() interface; all other events are passed through unchanged.

    If atomic items are appended to the sequence, then adjacent atomic items are turned in to a text node by converting them to strings and adding a single space as a separator.

    If a document node is appended to the sequence, then the document node is ignored and its children are appended to the sequence.

    If any other node is appended to the sequence, then it is pushed to the result as a sequence of Receiver events, which may involve walking recursively through the contents of a tree.

      • startDocument

        public void startDocument​(int properties)
                           throws XPathException
        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:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • endDocument

        public void endDocument()
                         throws XPathException
        Notify the end of a document node
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • startElement

        public void startElement​(NodeName nameCode,
                                 SchemaType typeCode,
                                 Location location,
                                 int properties)
                          throws XPathException
        Notify the start of an element
        Parameters:
        nameCode - the name of the element
        typeCode - the element's type
        location - the location of the element
        properties - bit-significant properties of the element node
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • namespace

        public void namespace​(NamespaceBindingSet namespaceBindings,
                              int properties)
                       throws XPathException
        Notify a namespace. 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; however, duplicates may be reported. A namespace must not conflict with any namespaces already used for element or attribute names.
        Parameters:
        namespaceBindings - the prefix/uri pair
        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 nameCode,
                              SimpleType typeCode,
                              CharSequence value,
                              Location locationId,
                              int properties)
                       throws XPathException
        Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children. Namespaces and attributes may be intermingled.
        Parameters:
        nameCode - The name of the attribute
        typeCode - The type of the attribute
        locationId - the location of the node in the source, or of the instruction that created it
        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
        value - the string value of the attribute
        Throws:
        XPathException - if an error occurs
      • startContent

        public void startContent()
                          throws XPathException
        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

      • 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
        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
