Interface Parser

Method Detail

• setLocale

  void setLocale(Locale locale)
                 throws SAXException

  Deprecated. 
  Allow an application to request a locale for errors and warnings.

  SAX parsers are not required to provide localisation for errors and warnings; if they cannot support the requested locale, however, they must throw a SAX exception. Applications may not request a locale change in the middle of a parse.

  Parameters:

  locale - A Java Locale object.

  Throws:

  SAXException - Throws an exception (using the previous or default locale) if the requested locale is not supported.

  See Also:

  SAXException, SAXParseException

• setEntityResolver

  void setEntityResolver(EntityResolver resolver)

  Deprecated. 
  Allow an application to register a custom entity resolver.

  If the application does not register an entity resolver, the SAX parser will resolve system identifiers and open connections to entities itself (this is the default behaviour implemented in HandlerBase).

  Applications may register a new or different entity resolver in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new resolver immediately.

  Parameters:

  resolver - The object for resolving entities.

  See Also:

  EntityResolver, HandlerBase

• setDTDHandler

  void setDTDHandler(DTDHandler handler)

  Deprecated. 
  Allow 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 (this is the default behaviour implemented by HandlerBase).

  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.

  Parameters:

  handler - The DTD handler.

  See Also:

  DTDHandler, HandlerBase

• setDocumentHandler

  void setDocumentHandler(DocumentHandler handler)

  Deprecated. 
  Allow an application to register a document event handler.

  If the application does not register a document handler, all document events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored (this is the default behaviour implemented by HandlerBase).

  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.

  Parameters:

  handler - The document handler.

  See Also:

  DocumentHandler, HandlerBase

• setErrorHandler

  void setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler handler)

  Deprecated. 
  Allow an application to register an error event handler.

  If the application does not register an error event handler, all error events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored, except for fatalError, which will throw a SAXException (this is the default behaviour implemented by HandlerBase).

  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.

  Parameters:

  handler - The error handler.

  See Also:

  ErrorHandler, SAXException, HandlerBase

• parse

  void parse(InputSource source)
             throws SAXException,
                    IOException

  Deprecated. 
  Parse an XML document.

  The application can use this method to instruct the SAX parser 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 Parser instead for each additional XML document). Once a parse is complete, an application may reuse the same Parser object, possibly with a different input source.

  Parameters:

  source - The input source for the top-level of the XML document.

  Throws:

  SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

  IOException - An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.

  See Also:

  InputSource, parse(java.lang.String), setEntityResolver(org.xml.sax.EntityResolver), setDTDHandler(org.xml.sax.DTDHandler), setDocumentHandler(org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler), setErrorHandler(org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler)

• parse

  void parse(String systemId)
             throws SAXException,
                    IOException

  Deprecated. 
  Parse 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.

  Parameters:

  systemId - The system identifier (URI).

  Throws:

  SAXException - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

  IOException - An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
