  org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

public abstract class XMLParserHandler
extends org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

Framework for parsing an XML file using a SAX parser. This framework provides a separate class for each element. These classes are called "state" classes because they represent the state of the parser. Generally, a state represents some object being created. This handler manages the stack of active states, and routes the SAX callbacks to the current state.

AbstractParseState, AnyElementState, XMLParserHandler.InnerParseState, XMLParserException

Nested Class Summary

class	XMLParserHandler.InnerAnyTagState Parses any valid XML; handles unimplemented tags.
class	XMLParserHandler.InnerParseState Base class provides the parse state framework.

Field Summary

protected java.lang.String	currentElement The current element being parsed.
protected java.util.ArrayList	errors The list contains errors encountered when parsing a XML file.
protected org.xml.sax.Locator	locator SAX Locator for reporting errors.
protected java.util.Stack	stateStack Stack of active parse states.

Specified by:

startDocument in interface org.xml.sax.ContentHandler

Overrides:

startDocument in class org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXException

endDocument

public void endDocument()
                 throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

Specified by:

endDocument in interface org.xml.sax.ContentHandler

Overrides:

endDocument in class org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

Throws:

semanticError

public void semanticError(java.lang.Exception e)

Add a recoverable semantic error to the error list.

Parameters:

e - The exception to log.

semanticError

public abstract void semanticError(XMLParserException e)

Add a recoverable semantic error to the error list.

Parameters:

e - The exception to log.

pushState

protected void pushState(AbstractParseState state)

Private method to add a parse state to the state stack.

Parameters:

state - the state to push

topState

protected AbstractParseState topState()
