Class Digester

java.lang.Object

org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

org.xml.sax.ext.DefaultHandler2

org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler, DeclHandler, EntityResolver2, LexicalHandler

public class Digester
extends DefaultHandler2

A Digester processes an XML input stream by matching a series of element nesting patterns to execute Rules that have been added prior to the start of parsing. This package was inspired by the XmlMapper class that was part of Tomcat 3.0 and 3.1, but is organized somewhat differently.

See the Digester Developer Guide for more information.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - A single Digester instance may only be used within the context of a single thread at a time, and a call to parse() must be completed before another can be initiated even from the same thread.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - A bug in Xerces 2.0.2 prevents the support of XML schema. You need Xerces 2.1/2.3 and up to make this class working with XML schema

source

protected static IntrospectionUtils.PropertySource[] source

bodyText

protected StringBuilder bodyText

The body text of the current element.

bodyTexts

protected ArrayStack<StringBuilder> bodyTexts

matches

protected ArrayStack<List<Rule>> matches

Stack whose elements are List objects, each containing a list of Rule objects as returned from Rules.getMatch(). As each xml element in the input is entered, the matching rules are pushed onto this stack. After the end tag is reached, the matches are popped again. The depth of is stack is therefore exactly the same as the current "nesting" level of the input xml.

1.6

parse

public Object parse(File file)
             throws IOException,
                    SAXException

Parse the content of the specified file using this Digester. Returns the root element from the object stack (if any).

SAXException - if a parsing exception occurs

parse

public Object parse(InputSource input)
             throws IOException,
                    SAXException

Parse the content of the specified input source using this Digester. Returns the root element from the object stack (if any).

Parameters:

input - Input source containing the XML data to be parsed

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

SAXException - if a parsing exception occurs

parse

public Object parse(InputStream input)
             throws IOException,
                    SAXException

Parse the content of the specified input stream using this Digester. Returns the root element from the object stack (if any).

Parameters:

input - Input stream containing the XML data to be parsed

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

SAXException - if a parsing exception occurs

register

public void register(String publicId,
            String entityURL)

Register the specified DTD URL for the specified public identifier. This must be called before the first call to parse().

Digester contains an internal EntityResolver implementation. This maps PUBLICID's to URLs (from which the resource will be loaded). A common use case for this method is to register local URLs (possibly computed at runtime by a classloader) for DTDs. This allows the performance advantage of using a local version without having to ensure every SYSTEM URI on every processed xml document is local. This implementation provides only basic functionality. If more sophisticated features are required, using setEntityResolver(org.xml.sax.EntityResolver) to set a custom resolver is recommended.

Note: This method will have no effect when a custom EntityResolver has been set. (Setting a custom EntityResolver overrides the internal implementation.)

Parameters:

publicId - Public identifier of the DTD to be resolved

entityURL - The URL to use for reading this DTD

addRule

public void addRule(String pattern,
           Rule rule)

Parameters:

public void addRuleSet(RuleSet ruleSet)

Register a set of Rule instances defined in a RuleSet.

Parameters:

ruleSet - The RuleSet instance to configure from

                 String methodName)

addCallParam

public void addCallParam(String pattern,
                int paramIndex)

Add a "call parameter" rule for the specified parameters.

Parameters:

addFactoryCreate

public void addFactoryCreate(String pattern,

clear

public void clear()

Clear the current contents of the object stack.

Calling this method might allow another document of the same type to be correctly parsed. However this method was not intended for this purpose. In general, a separate Digester object should be created for each document to be parsed.

reset

public void reset()

peek

public Object peek()

Return the top object on the stack without removing it. If there are no objects on the stack, return null.

peek

public Object peek(int n)

Return the n'th object down the stack, where 0 is the top element and [getCount()-1] is the bottom element. If the specified index is out of range, return null.

Parameters:

n - Index of the desired element, where 0 is the top of the stack, 1 is the next element down, and so on.

pop

public Object pop()

Pop the top object off of the stack, and return it. If there are no objects on the stack, return null.

push

public void push(Object object)

Push a new object onto the top of the object stack.

Parameters:

object - The new object

getRoot

public Object getRoot()

When the Digester is being used as a SAXContentHandler, this method allows you to access the root object that has been created after parsing.

Returns:

the root object that has been created after parsing or null if the digester has not parsed any XML yet.

configure

protected void configure()

Provide a hook for lazy configuration of this Digester instance. The default implementation does nothing, but subclasses can override as needed.

Note This method may be called more than once.

peekParams

public Object peekParams()

Return the top object on the parameters stack without removing it. If there are no objects on the stack, return null.

The parameters stack is used to store CallMethodRule parameters. See params.

popParams

public Object popParams()

Pop the top object off of the parameters stack, and return it. If there are no objects on the stack, return null.

The parameters stack is used to store CallMethodRule parameters. See params.

pushParams

public void pushParams(Object object)

Push a new object onto the top of the parameters stack.

The parameters stack is used to store CallMethodRule parameters. See params.

Parameters:

object - The new object
