java.lang.Object

eu.bandm.tools.util.xml.ContentProxy

eu.bandm.tools.dtd.WhitespaceIgnorer

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler

public class WhitespaceIgnorer
extends ContentProxy

A Sax filter which recognizes character data as "ignorable white space", according to a dtd, and feeds them into ContentHandler.ignorableWhitespace(char[], int, int). ATTENTION does not care for namespaces, but requires "qname" (i.e. prefix plus ":" plus localname) of the SAX event to be identical to the element name in the DTD.

Constructor Details

WhitespaceIgnorer

public WhitespaceIgnorer(DTD.Dtd dtd,

Parameters:

dtd - the dtd which rules the ignoring/respecting of whitespace.

out - target to which the sax events will be propagated.

Method Details

startElement

public void startElement(String uri,
 String localName,
 String qName,
 Attributes attrs)
                  throws SAXException

Specified by:

startElement in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

startElement in class ContentProxy

Throws:

SAXException

characters

public void characters(char[] ch,
 int start,
 int len)
                throws SAXException

Specified by:

characters in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

characters in class ContentProxy

Throws:

SAXException

ignorable

public static boolean ignorable(char[] ch,
 int start,
 int len)

Fundamental predicate, decides whether character data is whitespace. This is according to the xml standard "x20,x09,x0A,x0D". (see [XSLT 1.0:3.4]) Nevertheless "x0D" and "x0Dx0A" should have been replaced by a single "x0A" in advance!

ignorable

public static boolean ignorable(String s)

endElement

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

Specified by:

endElement in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

endElement in class ContentProxy

Throws:

SAXException
