public class XMPHandler
extends DefaultHandler

This class encapsulates XMP metadata within a file. It makes use of an InputStream as a data source. This differs from normal XML handling in that it's necessary to process the xpacket processing instruction in order to determine the encoding of the XML. the processingInstruction function looks for xpacket, and throws a special SAXException if it's necessary to change encoding. We don't actually extract any information from the XMP, but simply check it for well-formedness. By convention, XMPHandler should be invoked on an XMPSource (TBW), which provides the ability to recapture the InputStream from which the XMP was obtained and put it into a property once it's verified here.

Method Detail

isPdfaCompliant

public boolean isPdfaCompliant()

Returns true if no violations of PDF/A compliance have been found, false if a problem was detected.

processingInstruction

public void processingInstruction(String target,
                                  String data)
                           throws SAXException

Specified by:

processingInstruction in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

processingInstruction in class DefaultHandler

Throws:

SAXException

endElement

public void endElement(String namespaceURI,
                       String localName,
                       String rawName)

Catches the end of an element.

Specified by:

endElement in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

endElement in class DefaultHandler

fatalError

public void fatalError(SAXParseException exception)

Catch a fatal error. This is put here because the default behavior is to report a "fatal error" to standard output, which is harmless but scary.

Specified by:

fatalError in interface ErrorHandler

Overrides:

fatalError in class DefaultHandler
