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.

Method Summary

void	close() Frees any resources associated with this Reader.
String	getElementText() Reads the content of a text-only element.

Object	getProperty(String name) Get the value of a feature/property from the underlying implementation
boolean	hasNext() Check if there are more events.
Object	next()
XMLEvent	nextEvent() Get the next XMLEvent
XMLEvent	nextTag() Skips any insignificant space events until a START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT is reached.
XMLEvent	peek() Check the next XMLEvent without reading it from the stream.
void	remove()
void	setParent(XMLEventReader reader) Set the parent of this instance.

Constructor Detail

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

Method Detail

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.

See Also:

XMLEvent

next

public Object next()

Specified by:

next in interface Iterator

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

See Also:

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()

Specified by:

remove in interface Iterator
