Interface StAXEventProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractStAXEventProcessor

public interface StAXEventProcessor

This interface provides a base support for the XMLOutputter.

People who want to create a custom XMLOutputProcessor for XMLOutputter are able to implement this interface with the following notes and restrictions:

1. The XMLOutputter will call one, and only one of the process(XMLEventConsumer,Format,*) methods each time the XMLOutputter is requested to output some JDOM content. It is thus safe to assume that a process(XMLEventConsumer,Format,*) method can set up any infrastructure needed to process the content, and that the XMLOutputter will not re-call that method, or some other process(XMLEventConsumer,Format,*) method for the same output sequence.
2. The process methods should be thread-safe and reentrant: The same process(XMLEventConsumer,Format,*) method may (will) be called concurrently from different threads.

The AbstractXMLOutputProcessor class is a full implementation of this interface and is fully customisable. People who want a custom XMLOutputter are encouraged to extend the AbstractXMLOutputProcessor rather than do a full re-implementation of this interface.

Method Details

process

void process(XMLEventConsumer out,
 Format format,
 XMLEventFactory eventfactory,
 Document doc)
      throws XMLStreamException

This will print the Document to the given XMLEventConsumer.

Warning: using your own XMLEventConsumer may cause the outputter's preferred character encoding to be ignored. If you use encodings other than UTF-8, we recommend using the method that takes an OutputStream instead.

Parameters:

out - XMLEventConsumer to use.

format - Format instance specifying output style

eventfactory - XMLEventFactory for creating XMLEvent instances.

doc - Document to format.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there's any problem writing.

NullPointerException - if the input content is null

process

void process(XMLEventConsumer out,
 Format format,
 XMLEventFactory eventfactory,
 DocType doctype)
      throws XMLStreamException

Print out the DocType.

Parameters:

out - XMLEventConsumer to use.

format - Format instance specifying output style

eventfactory - XMLEventFactory for creating XMLEvent instances.

doctype - DocType to output.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there's any problem writing.

NullPointerException - if the input content is null

process

void process(XMLEventConsumer out,
 Format format,
 XMLEventFactory eventfactory,
 Element element)
      throws XMLStreamException

Print out an Element, including its Attributes, and all contained (child) elements, etc.

Parameters:

out - XMLEventConsumer to use.

format - Format instance specifying output style

eventfactory - XMLEventFactory for creating XMLEvent instances.

element - Element to output.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there's any problem writing.

NullPointerException - if the input content is null

process

void process(XMLEventConsumer out,
 Format format,
 XMLEventFactory eventfactory,
 List<? extends Content> list)
      throws XMLStreamException

This will handle printing out a list of nodes. This can be useful for printing the content of an element that contains HTML, like "<description>JDOM is <b>fun>!</description>".

Parameters:

out - XMLEventConsumer to use.

format - Format instance specifying output style

eventfactory - XMLEventFactory for creating XMLEvent instances.

list - List of nodes.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there's any problem writing.

NullPointerException - if the input list is null or contains null members

ClassCastException - if any of the list members are not Content

process

void process(XMLEventConsumer out,
 Format format,
 XMLEventFactory eventfactpry,
 CDATA cdata)
      throws XMLStreamException

Print out a CDATA node.

Parameters:

out - XMLEventConsumer to use.

format - Format instance specifying output style

eventfactpry - XMLEventFactory for creating XMLEvent instances.

cdata - CDATA to output.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there's any problem writing.

NullPointerException - if the input content is null

process

void process(XMLEventConsumer out,
 Format format,
 XMLEventFactory eventfactory,
 Text text)
      throws XMLStreamException

Print out a Text node. Performs the necessary entity escaping and whitespace stripping.

Parameters:
