Detailed Description
Receive notification of general document events.
This is the main interface that most SAX applications
implement: if the application needs to be informed of basic parsing
events, it implements this interface and registers an instance with
the SAX parser using the setDocumentHandler method. The parser
uses the instance to report basic document-related events like
the start and end of elements and character data.
The order of events in this interface is very important, and
mirrors the order of information in the document itself. For
example, all of an element's content (character data, processing
instructions, and/or subelements) will appear, in order, between
the startElement event and the corresponding endElement event.
Application writers who do not want to implement the entire
interface while can derive a class from HandlerBase, which implements
the default functionality; parser writers can instantiate
HandlerBase to obtain a default handler. The application can find
the location of any document event using the Locator interface
supplied by the Parser through the setDocumentLocator method.

Member Function Documentation
void DocumentHandler::characters (
|
const XMLCh * const chars, |
|
const unsigned int length) [pure virtual] |
|
Receive notification of character data.
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.
Note that some parsers will report whitespace using the
ignorableWhitespace() method rather than this one (validating
parsers must do so).
-
Parameters:
-
chars
|
The characters from the XML document.
|
length
|
The number of characters to read from the array.
|
-
Exceptions:
-
SAXException
|
Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
|

ignorableWhitespace()
, Locator::Locator()
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::endDocument () [pure virtual] |
|
Receive notification of the end of a document.
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.
-
Exceptions:
-
SAXException
|
Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
|
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::endElement (
|
const XMLCh * const name) [pure virtual] |
|
Receive notification of the end of an element.
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).
If the element name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will
still be attached to the name.
-
Parameters:
-
name
|
The element type name
|
-
Exceptions:
-
SAXException
|
Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
|
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::ignorableWhitespace (
|
const XMLCh * const chars, |
|
const unsigned int length) [pure virtual] |
|
Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.
Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk
of ignorable whitespace (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.
-
Parameters:
-
chars
|
The characters from the XML document.
|
length
|
The number of characters to read from the array.
|
-
Exceptions:
-
SAXException
|
Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
|

characters()
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::processingInstruction (
|
const XMLCh * const target, |
|
const XMLCh * const data) [pure virtual] |
|
Receive notification of a processing instruction.
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 should 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.
-
Parameters:
-
target
|
The processing instruction target.
|
data
|
The processing instruction data, or null if
none was supplied.
|
-
Exceptions:
-
SAXException
|
Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
|
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::resetDocument () [pure virtual] |
|
Reset the Docuemnt object on its reuse.
This method helps in reseting the document implementational
defaults each time the document is begun.
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::setDocumentLocator (
|
const Locator * const locator) [pure virtual] |
|
Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.
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 DocumentHandler
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.
-
Parameters:
-
locator
|
An object that can return the location of
any SAX document event. The object is only
'on loan' to the client code and they are not
to attempt to delete or modify it in any way!
|
-
See also:
-
Locator::Locator()
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::startDocument () [pure virtual] |
|
Receive notification of the beginning of a document.
The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any
other methods in this interface or in DTDHandler (except for
setDocumentLocator).
-
Exceptions:
-
SAXException
|
Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
|
Reimplemented in HandlerBase.
void DocumentHandler::startElement (
|
const XMLCh * const name, |
|
AttributeList & attributes) [pure virtual] |
|
Receive notification of the beginning of an element.
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.
If the element name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will
still be attached. Note that the attribute list provided will
contain only attributes with explicit values (specified or
defaulted): IMPLIED attributes will be omitted.
-
Parameters:
-
name
|
The element type name.
|
attrs
|
The attributes attached to the element, if any.
|
-
Exceptions:
-
SAXException
|
Any SAX exception, possibly
wrapping another exception.
