NamespaceSupport2 | public class NamespaceSupport2 extends org.xml.sax.helpers.NamespaceSupport (Code) | | Encapsulate Namespace tracking logic for use by SAX drivers.
This class is an attempt to rewrite the SAX NamespaceSupport
"helper" class for improved efficiency. It can be used to track the
namespace declarations currently in scope, providing lookup
routines to map prefixes to URIs and vice versa.
ISSUE: For testing purposes, I've extended NamespaceSupport even
though I'm completely reasserting all behaviors and fields.
Wasteful.... But SAX did not put an interface under that object and
we seem to have written that SAX class into our APIs... and I don't
want to argue with it right now.

Field Summary | |
final public static String | XMLNS The XML Namespace as a constant. |
Constructor Summary | |
public | NamespaceSupport2() Create a new Namespace support object. |
Method Summary | |
public boolean | declarePrefix(String prefix, String uri) Declare a Namespace prefix.
This method declares a prefix in the current Namespace
context; the prefix will remain in force until this context
is popped, unless it is shadowed in a descendant context.
To declare a default Namespace, use the empty string. | public Enumeration | getDeclaredPrefixes() Return an enumeration of all prefixes declared in this context. | public String | getPrefix(String uri) Return one of the prefixes mapped to a Namespace URI.
If more than one prefix is currently mapped to the same
URI, this method will make an arbitrary selection; if you
want all of the prefixes, use the
NamespaceSupport2.getPrefixes method instead.
Note: this will never return the empty
(default) prefix; to check for a default prefix, use the
NamespaceSupport2.getURI getURI method with an argument of "".
Parameters: uri - The Namespace URI. | public Enumeration | getPrefixes() Return an enumeration of all prefixes currently declared. | public Enumeration | getPrefixes(String uri) Return an enumeration of all prefixes currently declared for a URI.
This method returns prefixes mapped to a specific Namespace
URI. | public String | getURI(String prefix) Look up a prefix and get the currently-mapped Namespace URI.
This method looks up the prefix in the current context.
Use the empty string ("") for the default Namespace.
Parameters: prefix - The prefix to look up. | public void | popContext() Revert to the previous Namespace context.
Normally, you should pop the context at the end of each
XML element. | public String[] | processName(String qName, String[] parts, boolean isAttribute) Process a raw XML 1.0 name.
This method processes a raw XML 1.0 name in the current
context by removing the prefix and looking it up among the
prefixes currently declared. | public void | pushContext() Start a new Namespace context. | public void | reset() Reset this Namespace support object for reuse. |
XMLNS | final public static String XMLNS(Code) | | The XML Namespace as a constant.
This is the Namespace URI that is automatically mapped
to the "xml" prefix.
|
NamespaceSupport2 | public NamespaceSupport2()(Code) | | Create a new Namespace support object.
|
declarePrefix | public boolean declarePrefix(String prefix, String uri)(Code) | | Declare a Namespace prefix.
This method declares a prefix in the current Namespace
context; the prefix will remain in force until this context
is popped, unless it is shadowed in a descendant context.
To declare a default Namespace, use the empty string. The
prefix must not be "xml" or "xmlns".
Note that you must not declare a prefix after
you've pushed and popped another Namespace.
Note that there is an asymmetry in this library: while
NamespaceSupport2.getPrefix getPrefix will not return the default "" prefix,
even if you have declared one; to check for a default prefix,
you have to look it up explicitly using
NamespaceSupport2.getURI getURI .
This asymmetry exists to make it easier to look up prefixes
for attribute names, where the default prefix is not allowed.
Parameters: prefix - The prefix to declare, or null for the emptystring. Parameters: uri - The Namespace URI to associate with the prefix. true if the prefix was legal, false otherwise See Also: NamespaceSupport2.processName See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getURI See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getPrefix |
getPrefix | public String getPrefix(String uri)(Code) | | Return one of the prefixes mapped to a Namespace URI.
If more than one prefix is currently mapped to the same
URI, this method will make an arbitrary selection; if you
want all of the prefixes, use the
NamespaceSupport2.getPrefixes method instead.
Note: this will never return the empty
(default) prefix; to check for a default prefix, use the
NamespaceSupport2.getURI getURI method with an argument of "".
Parameters: uri - The Namespace URI. One of the prefixes currently mapped to the URI supplied,or null if none is mapped or if the URI is assigned tothe default Namespace. See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getPrefixes(java.lang.String) See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getURI See Also: |
getPrefixes | public Enumeration getPrefixes(String uri)(Code) | | Return an enumeration of all prefixes currently declared for a URI.
This method returns prefixes mapped to a specific Namespace
URI. The xml: prefix will be included. If you want only one
prefix that's mapped to the Namespace URI, and you don't care
which one you get, use the
NamespaceSupport2.getPrefix getPrefix method instead.
Note: the empty (default) prefix is
never included in this enumeration; to check for the
presence of a default Namespace, use the
NamespaceSupport2.getURI getURI method with an argument of "".
Parameters: uri - The Namespace URI. An enumeration of all prefixes declared in thecurrent context. See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getPrefix See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getDeclaredPrefixes See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getURI See Also: |
getURI | public String getURI(String prefix)(Code) | | Look up a prefix and get the currently-mapped Namespace URI.
This method looks up the prefix in the current context.
Use the empty string ("") for the default Namespace.
Parameters: prefix - The prefix to look up. The associated Namespace URI, or null if the prefixis undeclared in this context. See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getPrefix See Also: NamespaceSupport2.getPrefixes |
popContext | public void popContext()(Code) | | Revert to the previous Namespace context.
Normally, you should pop the context at the end of each
XML element. After popping the context, all Namespace prefix
mappings that were previously in force are restored.
You must not attempt to declare additional Namespace
prefixes after popping a context, unless you push another
context first.
See Also: NamespaceSupport2.pushContext |
processName | public String[] processName(String qName, String[] parts, boolean isAttribute)(Code) | | Process a raw XML 1.0 name.
This method processes a raw XML 1.0 name in the current
context by removing the prefix and looking it up among the
prefixes currently declared. The return value will be the
array supplied by the caller, filled in as follows:
- parts[0]
- The Namespace URI, or an empty string if none is
in use.
- parts[1]
- The local name (without prefix).
- parts[2]
- The original raw name.
All of the strings in the array will be internalized. If
the raw name has a prefix that has not been declared, then
the return value will be null.
Note that attribute names are processed differently than
element names: an unprefixed element name will received the
default Namespace (if any), while an unprefixed element name
will not.
Parameters: qName - The raw XML 1.0 name to be processed. Parameters: parts - A string array supplied by the caller, capable ofholding at least three members. Parameters: isAttribute - A flag indicating whether this is anattribute name (true) or an element name (false). The supplied array holding three internalized strings representing the Namespace URI (or empty string), thelocal name, and the raw XML 1.0 name; or null if thereis an undeclared prefix. See Also: NamespaceSupport2.declarePrefix See Also: java.lang.String.intern See Also: |
pushContext | public void pushContext()(Code) | | Start a new Namespace context.
Normally, you should push a new context at the beginning
of each XML element: the new context will automatically inherit
the declarations of its parent context, but it will also keep
track of which declarations were made within this context.
The Namespace support object always starts with a base context
already in force: in this context, only the "xml" prefix is
declared.
See Also: NamespaceSupport2.popContext |
reset | public void reset()(Code) | | Reset this Namespace support object for reuse.
It is necessary to invoke this method before reusing the
Namespace support object for a new session.
