Constructor Detail

SAXHandler

public SAXHandler()
This will create a new SAXHandler that listens to SAX events and creates a JDOM Document. The objects will be constructed using the default factory.


SAXHandler

public SAXHandler(JDOMFactory factory)
This will create a new SAXHandler that listens to SAX events and creates a JDOM Document. The objects will be constructed using the provided factory.

Parameters:
factory - JDOMFactory to be used for constructing objects
Method Detail

pushElement

protected void pushElement(Element element)
Pushes an element onto the tree under construction. Allows subclasses to put content under a dummy root element which is useful for building content that would otherwise be a non-well formed document.

Parameters:
element - root element under which content will be built

getDocument

public Document getDocument()
Returns the document. Should be called after parsing is complete.

Returns:
Document - Document that was built

getFactory

public JDOMFactory getFactory()
Returns the factory used for constructing objects.

Returns:
JDOMFactory - the factory used for constructing objects.
See Also:
SAXHandler(org.jdom.JDOMFactory)

setExpandEntities

public void setExpandEntities(boolean expand)
This sets whether or not to expand entities during the build. A true means to expand entities as normal content. A false means to leave entities unexpanded as EntityRef objects. The default is true.

Parameters:
expand - boolean indicating whether entity expansion should occur.

getExpandEntities

public boolean getExpandEntities()
Returns whether or not entities will be expanded during the build.

Returns:
boolean - whether entity expansion will occur during build.
See Also:
setExpandEntities(boolean)

setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace

public void setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(boolean ignoringWhite)
Specifies whether or not the parser should elminate whitespace in element content (sometimes known as "ignorable whitespace") when building the document. Only whitespace which is contained within element content that has an element only content model will be eliminated (see XML Rec 3.2.1). For this setting to take effect requires that validation be turned on. The default value of this setting is false.

Parameters:
ignoringWhite - Whether to ignore ignorable whitespace

setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace

public void setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace(boolean ignoringBoundaryWhite)
Specifies whether or not the parser should elminate text() nodes containing only whitespace when building the document. See SAXBuilder.setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace(boolean).

Parameters:
ignoringBoundaryWhite - Whether to ignore only whitespace content

getIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace

public boolean getIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace()
Returns whether or not the parser will elminate element content containing only whitespace.

Returns:
boolean - whether only whitespace content will be ignored during build.
See Also:
setIgnoringBoundaryWhitespace(boolean)

getIgnoringElementContentWhitespace

public boolean getIgnoringElementContentWhitespace()
Returns whether or not the parser will elminate whitespace in element content (sometimes known as "ignorable whitespace") when building the document.

Returns:
boolean - whether ignorable whitespace will be ignored during build.
See Also:
setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(boolean)
