Class SaxWriter
- All Implemented Interfaces:
ExtendedHierarchicalStreamWriter
,HierarchicalStreamWriter
,XmlFriendlyWriter
,XMLReader
parser
that acts as an XStream
HierarchicalStreamWriter
to enable direct generation of a
SAX event flow from the XStream serialization of a list of list of Java objects.
As a
custom SAX parser, this class ignores the arguments of the two standard parse methods (parse(java.lang.String)
and parse(org.xml.sax.InputSource)
) but relies on a proprietary SAX property
SOURCE_OBJECT_LIST_PROPERTY
to define the list of objects to serialize.
Configuration of this SAX parser is achieved through the standard
SAX property mechanism
. While specific setter methods require direct
access to the parser instance, SAX properties support configuration settings to be propagated
through a chain of filters
down to the underlying parser
object.
This mechanism shall be used to configure the
objects to be serialized
as well as the
XStream facade
.

to configure the XStream facade to be used for object serialization. If the property is not set, a new XStream facade will be allocated for each parse.- See Also:
-
SOURCE_OBJECT_LIST_PROPERTY
TheSAX property
to configure the list of Java objects to serialize. Setting this property prior invoking one of the parse() methods is mandatory.- See Also:
-
entityResolver
The SAX EntityResolver associated to this XMLReader. -

Method Details

setFeature
Sets the state of a feature.The feature name is any fully-qualified URI.
All XMLReaders are required to support setting
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces
totrue
andhttp://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes
tofalse
.Some feature values may be immutable or mutable only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a parse.
Note: This implementation only supports the two mandatory SAX features.
- Specified by:
setFeature
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
name
- the feature name, which is a fully-qualified URI.value
- the requested state of the feature (true or false).- Throws:
SAXNotRecognizedException
- when the XMLReader does not recognize the feature name.- See Also:
-
getFeature
Looks up the value of a feature.The feature name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for an XMLReader to recognize a feature name but to be unable to return its value; this is especially true in the case of an adapter for a SAX1 Parser, which has no way of knowing whether the underlying parser is performing validation or expanding external entities.
All XMLReaders are required to recognize the
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces
and thehttp://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes
feature names.Some feature values may be available only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a parse.
Implementors are free (and encouraged) to invent their own features, using names built on their own URIs.
- Specified by:
getFeature
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
name
- the feature name, which is a fully-qualified URI.- Returns:
- the current state of the feature (true or false).
- Throws:
SAXNotRecognizedException
- when the XMLReader does not recognize the feature name.- See Also:
-
setProperty
public void setProperty(String name, Object value) throws SAXNotRecognizedException, SAXNotSupportedException Sets the value of a property.The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for an XMLReader to recognize a property name but to be unable to set its value.
XMLReaders are not required to recognize setting any specific property names, though a core set is provided with SAX2.
Some property values may be immutable or mutable only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a parse.
This method is also the standard mechanism for setting extended handlers.
Note: This implementation only supports two (proprietary) properties:
CONFIGURED_XSTREAM_PROPERTY
andSOURCE_OBJECT_LIST_PROPERTY
.- Specified by:
setProperty
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
name
- the property name, which is a fully-qualified URI.value
- the requested value for the property.- Throws:
SAXNotRecognizedException
- when the XMLReader does not recognize the property name.SAXNotSupportedException
- when the XMLReader recognizes the property name but cannot set the requested value.- See Also:
-
getProperty
Looks up the value of a property.The property name is any fully-qualified URI. It is possible for an XMLReader to recognize a property name but to be unable to return its state.
XMLReaders are not required to recognize any specific property names, though an initial core set is documented for SAX2.
Some property values may be available only in specific contexts, such as before, during, or after a parse.
Implementors are free (and encouraged) to invent their own properties, using names built on their own URIs.
- Specified by:
getProperty
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
name
- the property name, which is a fully-qualified URI.- Returns:
- the current value of the property.
- Throws:
SAXNotRecognizedException
- when the XMLReader does not recognize the property name.- See Also:
-
setEntityResolver
Allows an application to register an entity resolver.If the application does not register an entity resolver, the XMLReader will perform its own default resolution.
Applications may register a new or different resolver in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new resolver immediately.
- Specified by:
setEntityResolver
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
resolver
- the entity resolver.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the resolver argument isnull
.- See Also:
-
getEntityResolver
Returns the current entity resolver.- Specified by:
getEntityResolver
in interfaceXMLReader
- Returns:
- the current entity resolver, or
null
if none has been registered. - See Also:
-
setDTDHandler
Allows an application to register a DTD event handler.If the application does not register a DTD handler, all DTD events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored.
Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.
- Specified by:
setDTDHandler
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
handler
- the DTD handler.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the handler argument isnull
.- See Also:
-
getDTDHandler
Returns the current DTD handler.- Specified by:
getDTDHandler
in interfaceXMLReader
- Returns:
- the current DTD handler, or
null
if none has been registered. - See Also:
-
setContentHandler
Allows an application to register a content event handler.If the application does not register a content handler, all content events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored.
Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.
- Specified by:
setContentHandler
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
handler
- the content handler.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the handler argument isnull
.- See Also:
-
getContentHandler
Returns the current content handler.- Specified by:
getContentHandler
in interfaceXMLReader
- Returns:
- the current content handler, or
null
if none has been registered. - See Also:
-
setErrorHandler
Allows an application to register an error event handler.If the application does not register an error handler, all error events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored; however, normal processing may not continue. It is highly recommended that all SAX applications implement an error handler to avoid unexpected bugs.
Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.
- Specified by:
setErrorHandler
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
handler
- the error handler.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the handler argument isnull
.- See Also:
-
getErrorHandler
Returns the current error handler.- Specified by:
getErrorHandler
in interfaceXMLReader
- Returns:
- the current error handler, or
null
if none has been registered. - See Also:
-
parse
Parses an XML document from a system identifier (URI).This method is a shortcut for the common case of reading a document from a system identifier. It is the exact equivalent of the following:
parse(new InputSource(systemId));
If the system identifier is a URL, it must be fully resolved by the application before it is passed to the parser.
Note: As a custom SAX parser, this class ignores the
systemId
argument of this method and relies on the proprietary SAX propertySOURCE_OBJECT_LIST_PROPERTY
) to define the list of objects to serialize.- Specified by:
parse
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
systemId
- the system identifier (URI).- Throws:
SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.- See Also:
-
parse
Parse an XML document.The application can use this method to instruct the XML reader to begin parsing an XML document from any valid input source (a character stream, a byte stream, or a URI).
Applications may not invoke this method while a parse is in progress (they should create a new XMLReader instead for each nested XML document). Once a parse is complete, an application may reuse the same XMLReader object, possibly with a different input source.
During the parse, the XMLReader will provide information about the XML document through the registered event handlers.
This method is synchronous: it will not return until parsing has ended. If a client application wants to terminate parsing early, it should throw an exception.
Note: As a custom SAX parser, this class ignores the
source
argument of this method and relies on the proprietary SAX propertySOURCE_OBJECT_LIST_PROPERTY
) to define the list of objects to serialize.- Specified by:
parse
in interfaceXMLReader
- Parameters:
input
- The input source for the top-level of the XML document.- Throws:
SAXException
- Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.- See Also:
-
parse
Serializes the Java objects of the configured list into a flow of SAX events.- Throws:
SAXException
- if the configured object list is invalid or object serialization failed.
