Class SAXFilter

java.lang.Object
  org.dspace.app.xmlui.objectmanager.SAXFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, LexicalHandler

public class SAXFilter
extends Object
implements ContentHandler, LexicalHandler

This is a Swiss army like SAX Filter, its purpose is to filter out undesirable SAX events from the stream. The primary application of this is for inserting SAX fragment into an existing SAX pipeline, under this scenario you would not want new startDocument or endDocument events interfering with the existing pipeline thus this class can filter those out. The Swiss army part comes in because it's configurable. Instead of defining a static set of events that are filled out by default all events are filled out and must be turned on to allow each type Individually. Primarily you can filter events based upon their type, i.e. start/end elements or start/end documents. However there is one special control, and that is to only allow elements below a minimum level. .

Constructor Detail

SAXFilter

public SAXFilter(ContentHandler contentHandler,
                 LexicalHandler lexicalHandler,
                 NamespaceSupport namespaces)

Construct a new SAXFilter such that the allowed events will be routed to the corresponding content and lexical handlers.

Parameters:

contentHandler - The SAX content handler.

lexicalHandler - The SAX lexical handler.

namespaces - Namespace support which records what prefixes have been defined.

Method Detail

allowDocuments

public SAXFilter allowDocuments()

Allow start/end document events

allowDocumentLocators

public SAXFilter allowDocumentLocators()

Allow document locator events

allowProcessingInstructions

public SAXFilter allowProcessingInstructions()

allowElements

public SAXFilter allowElements(int minimumElementLevel)

Allow start/end element events. However only allow those start / end events if they are below the given XML level. I.e. each nested element is a new level.
