java.lang.Object | +--org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler | +--com.devsphere.xml.saxdomix.SDXBuilder
This class provides the mixed SAX 2.0 - DOM Level 2 parsing functionality. It needs JAXP 1.1 support. TrAX support isn't necessary.
Each builder object needs from the application a SAX content
handler (org.xml.sax.ContentHandler
) and a controller
(com.devsphere.xml.saxdomix.SDXController
). Any builder
also has an internal wantDOM
flag.
The application receives the SAX events via the content handler
as long as the wantDOM
flag is false
.
During the SAX parsing, the builder object invokes the controller's
wantDOM()
method for each startElement()
parsing event. If wantDOM()
returns false
the SAX parsing mode continues. When wantDOM()
returns
true
the value of the internal wantDOM
flag
is switched to true
and the builder starts creating a DOM
sub-tree from the SAX events, which aren't forwarded to the application
anymore.
The building of the sub-tree ends after the endElement()
event that corresponds to the startElement()
event whose
associated wantDOM()
call returned true
.
The DOM sub-tree, whose root is an org.w3c.dom.Element
object is passed to the controller's handleDOM()
method.
After this, the wantDOM
flag is switched automatically to
false
re-enabling the SAX parsing. The application will
receive SAX events until the controller's wantDOM()
returns
true
for another element or the end of the parsed document
is reached.
A DOM sub-tree is made of five types of DOM objects:
org.w3c.dom.Element
org.w3c.dom.Text
org.w3c.dom.CDATASection
org.w3c.dom.Comment
org.w3c.dom.ProcessingInstruction
These DOM objects are created with a helper object. In most cases
you'll let the framework to use its own DefaultSDXHelper
,
but you may provide your own implementation of the SDXHelper
interface, which is declared in the
com.devsphere.xml.saxdomix.helpers
package.
The entity references are expanded.
If the class of the content handler object implements
org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler
, the application will also
receive comment()
, startCDATA()
and
endCDATA()
SAX lexical events during the SAX parsing mode.
In conclusion, the builder is initially in SAX parsing mode, which means
that SAX events are forwarded to a content handler provided by the
application. During the SAX parsing, the wantDOM()
method of
a controller object is called for each element start.
When wantDOM()
returns true
, the builder retains
the SAX events and uses them to build a DOM sub-tree, which is then passed
for handling to the handleDOM()
method of the controller object.
During the DOM building, the wantDOM()
method is NOT called.
The builder switches to the SAX parsing mode automatically when the DOM
sub-tree is completed. This process is repeated until the end of the parsed
document, which means that multiple DOM sub-trees can be constructed during
the parsing of a single XML document. All SAX events that aren't used to
build the sub-trees are passed to the application's content handler.
SDXBuilder
extends the DefaultHandler
SAX helper
class but overrides only the methods of the ContentHandler
SAX interface. It also implements the LexicalHandler
SAX extension. A SAX parser is needed in order to feed the builder
with SAX events. Some of these events will be forwarded to the application's
content handler and the others will be used to build the DOM sub-trees
as described above.
There are two ways to use SDXBuilder
: you may pass it to
the parse()
method of a JAXP SAXParser
or you may
register it as content handler to a SAX XMLReader
and then call
its parse()
method. In the second case you could create
a JAXP SAXParser
and then obtain the SAX XMLReader
using the getXMLReader()
method of the SAXParser
object.
Usage 1:
org.xml.sax.ContentHandler handler = ... SDXController controller = ... org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler builder = new SDXBuilder(handler, controller); javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser saxParser = ... saxParser.getXMLReader().setProperty( "http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", builder); java.io.InputStream in = ... saxParser.parse(in, builder);
If the default error handling or entity resolving mechanisms
don't suit the needs of your application or you need information about
unparsed entities and notations, then you should subclass
SDXBuilder
and override the methods defined
by the ErrorHandler
, EntityResolver
and DTDHandler
SAX interfaces.
Usage 2:
org.xml.sax.ContentHandler handler = ... SDXController controller = ... org.xml.sax.ContentHandler builder = new SDXBuilder(handler, controller); org.xml.sax.XMLReader xmlReader = ... xmlReader.setContentHandler(builder); xmlReader.setProperty( "http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", builder); xmlReader.setErrorHandler(...); org.xml.sax.InputSource in = ... xmlReader.parse(in);
In this case, you should always register an error handler. (If you don't
have one then register a DefaultHandler
as error handler.)
If the default entity resolving mechanism doesn't suit the needs of your application and you need information about unparsed entities and notations, then register an entity resolver and a DTD handler to the XML reader.
