Class EventReaderDelegate

• java.lang.Object
• • javax.xml.stream.util.EventReaderDelegate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator, XMLEventReader

public class EventReaderDelegate
extends Object
implements XMLEventReader

This is the base class for deriving an XMLEventReader filter. This class is designed to sit between an XMLEventReader and an application's XMLEventReader. By default each method does nothing but call the corresponding method on the parent interface.

Since:

1.6

Version:

1.0

XMLEventReader, StreamReaderDelegate

Constructors

EventReaderDelegate

public EventReaderDelegate()

Construct an empty filter with no parent.

EventReaderDelegate

public EventReaderDelegate(XMLEventReader reader)

Construct an filter with the specified parent.

Parameters:

reader - the parent

Methods

setParent

public void setParent(XMLEventReader reader)

Set the parent of this instance.

Parameters:

reader - the new parent

getParent

public XMLEventReader getParent()

Get the parent of this instance.

Returns:

the parent or null if none is set

nextEvent

public XMLEvent nextEvent()
                   throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Get the next XMLEvent

Specified by:

nextEvent in interface XMLEventReader

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there is an error with the underlying XML.

XMLEvent

next

public Object next()

Description copied from interface: Iterator

Returns the next element in the iteration.

Specified by:

next in interface Iterator

Returns:

the next element in the iteration

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Check if there are more events. Returns true if there are more events and false otherwise.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface Iterator

Specified by:

hasNext in interface XMLEventReader

Returns:

true if the event reader has more events, false otherwise

peek

public XMLEvent peek()
              throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Check the next XMLEvent without reading it from the stream. Returns null if the stream is at EOF or has no more XMLEvents. A call to peek() will be equal to the next return of next().

Specified by:

peek in interface XMLEventReader

Throws:

XMLStreamException

XMLEvent

close

public void close()
           throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Frees any resources associated with this Reader. This method does not close the underlying input source.

Specified by:

close in interface XMLEventReader

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there are errors freeing associated resources

getElementText

public String getElementText()
                      throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Reads the content of a text-only element. Precondition: the current event is START_ELEMENT. Postcondition: The current event is the corresponding END_ELEMENT.

Specified by:

getElementText in interface XMLEventReader

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if the current event is not a START_ELEMENT or if a non text element is encountered

nextTag

public XMLEvent nextTag()
                 throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Skips any insignificant space events until a START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT is reached. If anything other than space characters are encountered, an exception is thrown. This method should be used when processing element-only content because the parser is not able to recognize ignorable whitespace if the DTD is missing or not interpreted.

Specified by:

nextTag in interface XMLEventReader

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if anything other than space characters are encountered

getProperty

public Object getProperty(String name)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Get the value of a feature/property from the underlying implementation

Specified by:

getProperty in interface XMLEventReader

Parameters:

name - The name of the property

Returns:

The value of the property

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the property is not supported

remove

public void remove()

Description copied from interface: Iterator

Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned by this iterator (optional operation). This method can be called only once per call to Iterator.next(). The behavior of an iterator is unspecified if the underlying collection is modified while the iteration is in progress in any way other than by calling this method.

Specified by:

remove in interface Iterator
