Class ParserAdapter

java.lang.Object

org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

DocumentHandler, XMLReader

public class ParserAdapter
extends Object
implements XMLReader, DocumentHandler

Adapt a SAX1 Parser as a SAX2 XMLReader.

This class wraps a SAX1 Parser and makes it act as a SAX2 XMLReader, with feature, property, and Namespace support. Note that it is not possible to report skippedEntity events, since SAX1 does not make that information available.

This adapter does not test for duplicate Namespace-qualified attribute names.

Since:

1.4, SAX 2.0

Constructor Details

ParserAdapter

public ParserAdapter()
              throws SAXException

Construct a new parser adapter.

Use the "org.xml.sax.parser" property to locate the embedded SAX1 driver.

Throws:

SAXException - If the embedded driver cannot be instantiated or if the org.xml.sax.parser property is not specified.

ParserAdapter

public ParserAdapter(Parser parser)

Construct a new parser adapter.

Note that the embedded parser cannot be changed once the adapter is created; to embed a different parser, allocate a new ParserAdapter.

Parameters:

parser - The SAX1 parser to embed.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the parser parameter is null.

setFeature

public void setFeature(String name,
 boolean value)
                throws SAXNotRecognizedException,

Set a feature flag for the parser.

The only features recognized are namespaces and namespace-prefixes.

Specified by:

setFeature in interface XMLReader

Parameters:

name - The feature name, as a complete URI.

value - The requested feature value.

Throws:

SAXNotRecognizedException - If the feature can't be assigned or retrieved.

SAXNotSupportedException - If the feature can't be assigned that value.

See Also:

• XMLReader.setFeature(java.lang.String, boolean)

getFeature

public boolean getFeature(String name)
                   throws SAXNotRecognizedException,
SAXNotSupportedException

Check a parser feature flag.

The only features recognized are namespaces and namespace-prefixes.

Specified by:
