public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)
SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the ContentHandler interface.
The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.
Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.
setDocumentLocator
in interface ContentHandler
setDocumentLocator
in class DefaultHandler
locator
- An object that can return the location of
any SAX document event.Locator
public void startDocument() throws SAXException
The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any
other event callbacks (except for setDocumentLocator
).
startDocument
in interface ContentHandler
startDocument
in class DefaultHandler
SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.endDocument()
public void endDocument() throws SAXException
The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, and it will be the last method invoked during the parse. The parser shall not invoke this method until it has either abandoned parsing (because of an unrecoverable error) or reached the end of input.
endDocument
in interface ContentHandler
endDocument
in class DefaultHandler
SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.startDocument()
public void startPrefixMapping(String prefix, String uri) throws SAXException
The information from this event is not necessary for
normal Namespace processing: the SAX XML reader will
automatically replace prefixes for element and attribute
names when the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces
feature is true (the default).
There are cases, however, when applications need to use prefixes in character data or in attribute values, where they cannot safely be expanded automatically; the start/endPrefixMapping event supplies the information to the application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if necessary.
Note that start/endPrefixMapping events are not
guaranteed to be properly nested relative to each other:
all startPrefixMapping events will occur immediately before the
corresponding startElement
event,
and all endPrefixMapping
events will occur immediately after the corresponding
endElement
event,
but their order is not otherwise
guaranteed.
There should never be start/endPrefixMapping events for the "xml" prefix, since it is predeclared and immutable.
startPrefixMapping
in interface ContentHandler
startPrefixMapping
in class DefaultHandler
prefix
- The Namespace prefix being declared.
An empty string is used for the default element namespace,
which has no prefix.uri
- The Namespace URI the prefix is mapped to.SAXException
- The client may throw
an exception during processing.endPrefixMapping(java.lang.String)
,
startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)
public void endPrefixMapping(String prefix) throws SAXException
See startPrefixMapping
for
details. These events will always occur immediately after the
corresponding endElement
event, but the order of
endPrefixMapping
events is not otherwise
guaranteed.
endPrefixMapping
in interface ContentHandler
endPrefixMapping
in class DefaultHandler
prefix
- The prefix that was being mapping.
This is the empty string when a default mapping scope ends.SAXException
- The client may throw
an exception during processing.startPrefixMapping(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
,
endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException
The Parser will invoke this method at the beginning of every
element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding
endElement
event for every startElement event
(even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be
reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement
event.
This event allows up to three name components for each element:
Any or all of these may be provided, depending on the values of the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces and the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes properties:
Note that the attribute list provided will contain only
attributes with explicit values (specified or defaulted):
#IMPLIED attributes will be omitted. The attribute list
will contain attributes used for Namespace declarations
(xmlns* attributes) only if the
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes
property is true (it is false by default, and support for a
true value is optional).
Like characters()
, attribute values may have
characters that need more than one char
value.
startElement
in interface ContentHandler
startElement
in class DefaultHandler
uri
- The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the
element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace
processing is not being performed.localName
- The local name (without prefix), or the
empty string if Namespace processing is not being
performed.qName
- The qualified name (with prefix), or the
empty string if qualified names are not available.atts
- The attributes attached to the element. If
there are no attributes, it shall be an empty
Attributes object.SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
,
Attributes
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException
The SAX parser will invoke this method at the end of every
element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding
startElement
event for every endElement
event (even when the element is empty).
For information on the names, see startElement.
endElement
in interface ContentHandler
endElement
in class DefaultHandler
uri
- The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the
element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace
processing is not being performed.localName
- The local name (without prefix), or the
empty string if Namespace processing is not being
performed.qName
- The qualified XML 1.0 name (with prefix), or the
empty string if qualified names are not available.SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException
The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.
The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.
Individual characters may consist of more than one Java
char
value. There are two important cases where this
happens, because characters can't be represented in just sixteen bits.
In one case, characters are represented in a Surrogate Pair,
using two special Unicode values. Such characters are in the so-called
"Astral Planes", with a code point above U+FFFF. A second case involves
composite characters, such as a base character combining with one or
more accent characters.
Your code should not assume that algorithms using
char
-at-a-time idioms will be working in character
units; in some cases they will split characters. This is relevant
wherever XML permits arbitrary characters, such as attribute values,
processing instruction data, and comments as well as in data reported
from this method. It's also generally relevant whenever Java code
manipulates internationalized text; the issue isn't unique to XML.
Note that some parsers will report whitespace in element
content using the ignorableWhitespace
method rather than this one (validating parsers must
do so).
characters
in interface ContentHandler
characters
in class DefaultHandler
ch
- The characters from the XML document.start
- The start position in the array.length

,
Locator
public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException
Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of whitespace in element content (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using content models.
SAX parsers may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.
The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.
ignorableWhitespace

- Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.characters(char[], int, int)
public void processingInstruction(String target, String data) throws SAXException
The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found: note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document element.
A SAX parser must never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.
Like characters()
, processing instruction
data may have characters that need more than one char
value.
processingInstruction
in interface ContentHandler
processingInstruction
in class DefaultHandler
target
- The processing instruction target.data
- The processing instruction data, or null if
none was supplied. The data does not include any
whitespace separating it from the target.SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.public void skippedEntity(String name) throws SAXException
The Parser will invoke this method each time the entity is
skipped. Non-validating processors may skip entities if they
have not seen the declarations (because, for example, the
entity was declared in an external DTD subset). All processors
may skip external entities, depending on the values of the
http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities
and the
http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities
properties.
skippedEntity
in interface ContentHandler
skippedEntity
in class DefaultHandler
name
- The name of the skipped entity. If it is a
parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if
it is the external DTD subset, it will be the string
"[dtd]".SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.public void startDTD(String name, String publicId, String systemId) throws SAXException
This method is intended to report the beginning of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.
All declarations reported through
DTDHandler
or
DeclHandler
events must appear
between the startDTD and endDTD
events.
Declarations are assumed to belong to the internal DTD subset
unless they appear between startEntity
and endEntity
events. Comments and
processing instructions from the DTD should also be reported
between the startDTD and endDTD events, in their original
order of (logical) occurrence; they are not required to
appear in their correct locations relative to DTDHandler
or DeclHandler events, however.
Note that the start/endDTD events will appear within
the start/endDocument events from ContentHandler and
before the first
startElement
event.
startDTD
in interface LexicalHandler
name
- The document type name.publicId
- The declared public identifier for the
external DTD subset, or null if none was declared.systemId
- The declared system identifier for the
external DTD subset, or null if none was declared.

base URI.)SAXException
- The application may raise an
exception.endDTD()
,
startEntity(java.lang.String)
public void endDTD() throws SAXException
This method is intended to report the end of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.
endDTD
in interface LexicalHandler
SAXException
- The application may raise an exception.startDTD(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
public void startEntity(String name) throws SAXException
The reporting of parameter entities (including
the external DTD subset) is optional, and SAX2 drivers that
report LexicalHandler events may not implement it; you can use the
http://xml.org/sax/features/lexical-handler/parameter-entities
feature to query or control the reporting of parameter entities.
General entities are reported with their regular names, parameter entities have '%' prepended to their names, and the external DTD subset has the pseudo-entity name "[dtd]".
When a SAX2 driver is providing these events, all other
events must be properly nested within start/end entity
events. There is no additional requirement that events from
DeclHandler
or
DTDHandler
be properly ordered.
Note that skipped entities will be reported through the
skippedEntity
event, which is part of the ContentHandler interface.
Because of the streaming event model that SAX uses, some entity boundaries cannot be reported under any circumstances:
These will be silently expanded, with no indication of where the original entity boundaries were.
Note also that the boundaries of character references (which are not really entities anyway) are not reported.
All start/endEntity events must be properly nested.
startEntity
in interface LexicalHandler
name
- The name of the entity. If it is a parameter
entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the

public void comment(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException
This callback will be used for comments inside or outside the document element, including comments in the external DTD subset (if read). Comments in the DTD must be properly nested inside start/endDTD and start/endEntity events (if used).
comment
