Package org.apache.cayenne.configuration.xml

Class SAXNestedTagHandler

java.lang.Object

org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

org.apache.cayenne.configuration.xml.SAXNestedTagHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

NamespaceAwareNestedTagHandler

public class SAXNestedTagHandler
extends DefaultHandler

A superclass of nested tag handlers for parsing of XML documents with SAX. This class is not namespace aware, i.e. tags like <info:property/> and <property/> will be treated as equal. Use NamespaceAwareNestedTagHandler if you need to process namespaces.

Since:

3.1, 4.1 redesigned and moved from org.apache.cayenne.configuration package

unexpectedTagMessage

processElement

protected boolean processElement(String namespaceURI,
 String localName,
 Attributes attributes)
                          throws SAXException

Main method to process XML content. Should be override in subclasses, by default do nothing. Return value should be true if tag was fully processed and shouldn't be passed down to child handler.

Parameters:

namespaceURI - namespace for tag

localName - tag local name (i.e. w/o namespace prefix)

attributes - tag attributes

Returns:

true if tag was processed

Throws:

SAXException - can be thrown to abort parsing

See Also:

• createChildTagHandler(String, String, String, Attributes)

beforeScopeEnd

protected void beforeScopeEnd()

Callback method that is called before this handler pushed out of parsers stack. Can be used to flush some aggregate state.

createChildTagHandler

protected ContentHandler createChildTagHandler(String namespaceURI,
 String localName,
 String qName,
 Attributes attributes)

This method should be used to create nested handlers to process children elements. This method should never return null.

Parameters:

namespaceURI - namespace for tag

localName - tag local name (i.e. w/o namespace prefix)

qName - tag full name (i.e. with namespace prefix)

attributes - tag attributes

Returns:

new handler to process child tag

stop

protected void stop()

startElement

public void startElement(String namespaceURI,
 String localName,
 String qName,
 Attributes attributes)
                  throws SAXException

This method directly called by SAX parser, do not override it directly, use processElement(String, String, Attributes) method instead to process content.

Specified by:

startElement in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

startElement in class DefaultHandler

Throws:

SAXException

endElement

public void endElement(String namespaceURI,
 String localName,
 String qName)
                throws SAXException

Specified by:

endElement in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

endElement in class DefaultHandler

Throws:

SAXException

setDocumentLocator

public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)

Specified by:

setDocumentLocator in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

setDocumentLocator in class DefaultHandler
