Class SAXEventRecorder

java.lang.Object
org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler
org.dom4j.io.SAXEventRecorder
All Implemented Interfaces:
Externalizable, Serializable, ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler, DeclHandler, LexicalHandler
public class SAXEventRecorder extends DefaultHandler implements LexicalHandler, DeclHandler, DTDHandler, Externalizable

Records SAX events such that they may be "replayed" at a later time. Provides an alternative serialization approach when externalizing a DOM4J document. Rather than serializing a document as text and re-parsing, the sax events may be serialized instead.

Example usage: 

 
 
        SAXEventRecorder recorder = new SAXEventRecorder();
        SAXWriter saxWriter = new SAXWriter(recorder, recorder);
        saxWriter.write(document);
        out.writeObject(recorder);
        ...
        SAXEventRecorder recorder = (SAXEventRecorder)in.readObject();
        SAXContentHandler saxContentHandler = new SAXContentHandler();
        recorder.replay(saxContentHandler);
        Document document = saxContentHandler.getDocument();
