close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: HierarchicalStreamWriter

underlyingWriter

public HierarchicalStreamWriter underlyingWriter()

Description copied from interface: HierarchicalStreamWriter

Return the underlying HierarchicalStreamWriter implementation.

If a Converter needs to access methods of a specific HierarchicalStreamWriter implementation that are not defined in the HierarchicalStreamWriter interface, it should call this method before casting. This is because the writer passed to the Converter is often wrapped/decorated by another implementation to provide additional functionality (such as XPath tracking).

For example:

MySpecificWriter mySpecificWriter = (MySpecificWriter)writer; // INCORRECT!
mySpecificWriter.doSomethingSpecific();

MySpecificWriter mySpecificWriter = (MySpecificWriter)writer.underlyingWriter();  // CORRECT!
mySpecificWriter.doSomethingSpecific();

Implementations of HierarchicalStreamWriter should return 'this', unless they are a decorator, in which case they should delegate to whatever they are wrapping.
