The factory for creating new JDOM objects

Constructor Detail

SAXBuilder

public SAXBuilder()

Creates a new SAXBuilder which will attempt to first locate a parser via JAXP, then will try to use a set of default SAX Drivers. The underlying parser will not validate.

SAXBuilder

public SAXBuilder(boolean validate)

Creates a new SAXBuilder which will attempt to first locate a parser via JAXP, then will try to use a set of default SAX Drivers. The underlying parser will validate or not according to the given parameter.

Parameters:

validate - boolean indicating if validation should occur.

SAXBuilder

public SAXBuilder(java.lang.String saxDriverClass)

Creates a new SAXBuilder using the specified SAX parser. The underlying parser will not validate.

Parameters:

saxDriverClass - String name of SAX Driver to use for parsing.

SAXBuilder

public SAXBuilder(java.lang.String saxDriverClass,
          boolean validate)

Creates a new SAXBuilder using the specified SAX parser. The underlying parser will validate or not according to the given parameter.

Parameters:

saxDriverClass - String name of SAX Driver to use for parsing.

validate - boolean indicating if validation should occur.

Method Detail

setFactory

public void setFactory(SODOMFactory factory)

setValidation

public void setValidation(boolean validate)

This sets validation for the builder.

Parameters:

validate - boolean indicating whether validation should occur.

setErrorHandler

public void setErrorHandler(org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler errorHandler)

This sets custom ErrorHandler for the Builder.

Parameters:

errorHandler - ErrorHandler

setEntityResolver

public void setEntityResolver(org.xml.sax.EntityResolver entityResolver)

This sets custom EntityResolver for the Builder.

Parameters:

entityResolver - EntityResolver

setDTDHandler

public void setDTDHandler(org.xml.sax.DTDHandler dtdHandler)

This sets custom DTDHandler for the Builder.

Parameters:

dtdHandler - DTDHandler

setXMLFilter

public void setXMLFilter(org.xml.sax.XMLFilter xmlFilter)

This sets custom XMLFilter for the Builder.

Parameters:

xmlFilter - XMLFilter

setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace

public void setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(boolean ignoringWhite)

Specifies whether or not the parser should elminate whitespace in element content (sometimes known as "ignorable whitespace") when building the document. Only whitespace which is contained within element content that has an element only content model will be eliminated (see XML Rec 3.2.1). For this setting to take effect requires that validation be turned on. The default value of this setting is false.

Parameters:

ignoringWhite - Whether to ignore ignorable whitespace

setFeature

public void setFeature(java.lang.String name,
              boolean value)

This sets a feature on the SAX parser. See the SAX documentation for more information.

NOTE: SAXBuilder requires that some particular features of the SAX parser be set up in certain ways for it to work properly. The list of such features may change in the future. Therefore, the use of this method may cause parsing to break, and even if it doesn't break anything today it might break parsing in a future JDOM version, because what JDOM parsers require may change over time. Use with caution.

Parameters:

name - The feature name, which is a fully-qualified URI.

value - The requested state of the feature (true or false).

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String name,
               java.lang.Object value)

This sets a property on the SAX parser. See the SAX documentation for more information.

NOTE: SAXBuilder requires that some particular properties of the SAX parser be set up in certain ways for it to work properly. The list of such properties may change in the future. Therefore, the use of this method may cause parsing to break, and even if it doesn't break anything today it might break parsing in a future JDOM version, because what JDOM parsers require may change over time. Use with caution.

Parameters:

name - The property name, which is a fully-qualified URI.

value - The requested value for the property.

build

public Document build(org.xml.sax.InputSource in)
               throws SODOMException

This builds a document from the supplied input source.

Parameters:

in - InputSource to read from.

Returns:

Document - resultant Document object.

Throws:

JDOMException - when errors occur in parsing.

SODOMException

createContentHandler

protected SAXHandler createContentHandler()
                                   throws java.lang.Exception

This creates the SAXHandler that will be used to build the Document.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

configureContentHandler

protected void configureContentHandler(SAXHandler contentHandler)
                                throws java.lang.Exception

This configures the SAXHandler that will be used to build the Document.

The default implementation simply passes through some configuration settings that were set on the SAXBuilder: setExpandEntities() and setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace().

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

createParser

protected org.xml.sax.XMLReader createParser()
                                      throws java.lang.Exception

This creates the XMLReader to be used for reading the XML document.

The default behavior is to (1) use the saxDriverClass, if it has been set, (2) try to obtain a parser from JAXP, if it is available, and (3) if all else fails, use a hard-coded default parser (currently the Xerces parser). Subclasses may override this method to determine the parser to use in a different way.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

configureParser

protected void configureParser(org.xml.sax.XMLReader parser,
                   SAXHandler contentHandler)
                        throws java.lang.Exception

This configures the XMLReader to be used for reading the XML document.

The default implementation sets various options on the given XMLReader, such as validation, DTD resolution, entity handlers, etc., according to the options that were set (e.g. via setEntityResolver) and set various SAX properties and features that are required for JDOM internals. These features may change in future releases, so change this behavior at your own risk.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

setExpandEntities

public void setExpandEntities(boolean expand)

This sets whether or not to expand entities for the builder. A true means to expand entities as normal content. A false means to leave entities unexpanded as EntityRef objects. The default is true.

When this setting is false, the internal DTD subset is retained; when this setting is true, the internal DTD subset is not retained.

Note that Xerces (at least up to 1.4.4) has a bug where entities in attribute values will be misreported if this flag is turned off, resulting in entities to appear within element content. When turning entity expansion off either avoid entities in attribute values, or use another parser like Crimson. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6111

Parameters:

expand - boolean indicating whether entity expansion should occur.
