Detailed Description

This class implements the Document Object Model (DOM) interface.

It should be used by applications which choose to parse and process the XML document using the DOM api's. This implementation also allows the applications to install an error and an entitty handler (useful extensions to the DOM specification).

It can be used to instantiate a validating or non-validating parser, by setting a member flag.

bool DOMParser::parseFirst ( const InputSource & source,

XMLPScanToken & toFill,

const bool reuseValidator = false )

Begin a progressive parse operation.
This method is used to start a progressive parse on a XML file. To continue parsing, subsequent calls must be to the parseNext method.
It scans through the prolog and returns a token to be used on subsequent scanNext() calls. If the return value is true, then the token is legal and ready for further use. If it returns false, then the scan of the prolog failed and the token is not going to work on subsequent scanNext() calls.
Parameters:

source A const reference to the InputSource object which points to the XML file to be parsed.

toFill A token maintaing state information to maintain internal consistency between invocation of 'parseNext' calls.

reuseValidator The flag indicating whether the existing validator should be reused or not for this parsing process.

Returns:
'true', if successful in parsing the prolog. It indicates the user can go ahead with parsing the rest of the file. It returns 'false' to indicate that the parser could not parse the prolog.

See also:
parseNext , parseFirst(XMLCh*,...) , parseFirst(char*,...)

bool DOMParser::parseFirst ( const char *const systemId,

XMLPScanToken & toFill,

const bool reuseValidator = false )

Begin a progressive parse operation.
This method is used to start a progressive parse on a XML file. To continue parsing, subsequent calls must be to the parseNext method.
It scans through the prolog and returns a token to be used on subsequent scanNext() calls. If the return value is true, then the token is legal and ready for further use. If it returns false, then the scan of the prolog failed and the token is not going to work on subsequent scanNext() calls.
Parameters:

systemId A pointer to a regular native string represting the path to the XML file to be parsed.

toFill A token maintaing state information to maintain internal consistency between invocation of 'parseNext' calls.

reuseValidator The flag indicating whether the existing validator should be reused or not for this parsing run.

Returns:
'true', if successful in parsing the prolog. It indicates the user can go ahead with parsing the rest of the file. It returns 'false' to indicate that the parser could not parse the prolog.

See also:
parseNext , parseFirst(XMLCh*,...) , parseFirst(InputSource&,...)

bool DOMParser::parseFirst ( const XMLCh *const systemId,

XMLPScanToken & toFill,

const bool reuseValidator = false )

Begin a progressive parse operation.
This method is used to start a progressive parse on a XML file. To continue parsing, subsequent calls must be to the parseNext method.
It scans through the prolog and returns a token to be used on subsequent scanNext() calls. If the return value is true, then the token is legal and ready for further use. If it returns false, then the scan of the prolog failed and the token is not going to work on subsequent scanNext() calls.
Parameters:

systemId A pointer to a Unicode string represting the path to the XML file to be parsed.

toFill A token maintaing state information to maintain internal consistency between invocation of 'parseNext' calls.

reuseValidator The flag indicating whether the existing validator should be reused or not for this parsing process.

Returns:
'true', if successful in parsing the prolog. It indicates the user can go ahead with parsing the rest of the file. It returns 'false' to indicate that the parser could not parse the prolog.

See also:
parseNext , parseFirst(char*,...) , parseFirst(InputSource&,...)

bool DOMParser::parseNext ( XMLPScanToken & token )

Continue a progressive parse operation.
This method is used to continue with progressive parsing of XML files started by a call to 'parseFirst' method.
It parses the XML file and stops as soon as it comes across a XML token (as defined in the XML specification).
Parameters:

token A token maintaing state information to maintain internal consistency between invocation of 'parseNext' calls.

Returns:
'true', if successful in parsing the next XML token. It indicates the user can go ahead with parsing the rest of the file. It returns 'false' to indicate that the parser could not find next token as per the XML specification production rule.

See also:
parseFirst(XMLCh*,...) , parseFirst(char*,...) , parseFirst(InputSource&,...)

void DOMParser::parseReset ( XMLPScanToken & token )

Reset the parser after a progressive parse.
If a progressive parse loop exits before the end of the document is reached, the parser has no way of knowing this. So it will leave open any files or sockets or memory buffers that were in use at the time that the parse loop exited.
The next parse operation will cause these open files and such to be closed, but the next parse operation might occur at some unknown future point. To avoid this problem, you should reset the parser if you exit the loop early.
If you exited because of an error, then this cleanup will be done for you. Its only when you exit the file prematurely of your own accord, because you've found what you wanted in the file most likely.
Parameters:

token A token maintaing state information to maintain internal consistency between invocation of 'parseNext' calls.

See also:
parseFirst(XMLCh*,...) , parseFirst(char*,...) , parseFirst(InputSource&,...)

EntityResolver

Reimplemented from XMLEntityHandler.

void DOMParser::setCreateEntityReferenceNodes ( const bool create )

Set the 'include entity references' flag.
This method allows the user to specify whether the parser should create entity reference nodes in the DOM tree being produced. When the 'create' flag is true, the DOM tree constains entity reference nodes. When the 'create' flag is false, no entity reference nodes are included in the DOM tree.
The replacement text of the entity is included in either case, either as a child of the Entity Reference node or in place at the location of the reference.
Parameters:

create The new state of the create entity reference nodes flag.

Set the 'do namespaces' flag.
This method allows users to enable or disable the parser's namespace processing. When set to true, parser starts enforcing all the constraints and rules specified by the NameSpace specification.
The parser's default state is: false.
This flag is ignored by the underlying scanner if the installed validator indicates that namespace constraints should be enforced.
Parameters:

newState The value specifying whether NameSpace rules should be enforced or not.

This method allows applications to install their own entity resolver. By installing an entity resolver, the applications can trap and potentially redirect references to external entities.
Any previously set resolver is merely dropped, since the parser does not own them.
Parameters:

handler A const pointer to the user supplied entity resolver.

getEntityResolver

void DOMParser::setErrorHandler ( ErrorHandler *const handler )

Set the error handler.
This method allows applications to install their own error handler to trap error and warning messages.
Any previously set handler is merely dropped, since the parser does not own them.
Parameters:

handler A const pointer to the user supplied error handler.

getErrorHandler

void DOMParser::setExitOnFirstFatalError ( const bool newState )

Set the 'exit on first error' flag.
This method allows users to set the parser's behaviour when it encounters the first fatal error. If set to true, the parser will exit at the first fatal error. If false, then it will report the error and continue processing.
The default value is 'true' and the parser exits on the first fatal error.
Parameters:

newState The value specifying whether the parser should continue or exit when it encounters the first fatal error.

getExitOnFirstFatalError

void DOMParser::setExpandEntityReferences ( const bool expand )

Set the 'expand entity references' flag.
DEPRECATED. USE setCreateEntityReferenceNodes instead. This method allows the user to specify whether the parser should expand all entity reference nodes. When the 'do expansion' flag is true, the DOM tree does not have any entity reference nodes. It is replaced by the sub-tree representing the replacement text of the entity. When the 'do expansion' flag is false, the DOM tree contains an extra entity reference node, whose children is the sub tree of the replacement text.
Parameters:

expand The new state of the expand entity reference flag.

void DOMParser::setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace ( const bool include )

Set the 'include ignorable whitespace' flag.
This method allows the user to specify whether a validating parser should include ignorable whitespaces as text nodes. It has no effect on non-validating parsers which always include non-markup text.
When set to true (also the default), ignorable whitespaces will be added to the DOM tree as text nodes. The method DOM_Text::isIgnorableWhitespace() will return true for those text nodes only.
When set to false, all ignorable whitespace will be discarded and no text node is added to the DOM tree. Note: applications intended to process the "xml:space" attribute should not set this flag to false.
Parameters:

include The new state of the include ignorable whitespace flag.

getIncludeIgnorableWhitespace

void DOMParser::setToCreateXMLDeclTypeNode ( const bool create )

This method allows users to set the toCreateXMLDeclTypeNode flag by this parser.
By setting it to 'true' user can have XMLDecl type nodes attached to the DOM tree.

The parser's default state is: false
Parameters:

newState The new to create XMLDecl type node flag

void DOMParser::setValidationScheme ( const ValSchemes newScheme )

This method allows users to set the validation scheme to be used by this parser.
The value is one of the ValSchemes enumerated values defined by this class:

Val_Never - turn off validation
Val_Always - turn on validation
Val_Auto - turn on validation if any internal/external DTD subset have been seen

The parser's default state is: Val_Auto.
Parameters:

newScheme The new validation scheme to use.

void DOMParser::startAttList ( const DTDElementDecl & elemDecl ) [virtual]

void DOMParser::startDocument ( ) [virtual]

Handle a start document event.
This method is used to report the start of the parsing process.
Reimplemented from XMLDocumentHandler.

void DOMParser::startElement ( const XMLElementDecl & elemDecl,

const unsigned int urlId,

const XMLCh *const elemPrefix,

const RefVectorOf< XMLAttr >& attrList,

const unsigned int attrCount,

const bool isEmpty,

const bool isRoot ) [virtual]

Handle a start element event.
This method is used to report the start of an element. It is called at the end of the element, by which time all attributes specified are also parsed. A new DOM Element node is created along with as many attribute nodes as required. This new element is added appended as a child of the current node in the tree, and then replaces it as the current node (if the isEmpty flag is false.)
Parameters:

elemDecl A const reference to the object containing element declaration information.

urlId An id referring to the namespace prefix, if namespaces setting is switched on.

elemPrefix A const pointer to a Unicode string containing the namespace prefix for this element. Applicable only when namespace processing is enabled.

attrList A const reference to the object containing the list of attributes just scanned for this element.

attrCount A count of number of attributes in the list specified by the parameter 'attrList'.

isEmpty A flag indicating whether this is an empty element or not. If empty, then no endElement() call will be made.

isRoot A flag indicating whether this element was the root element.

DocumentHandler::startElement

Reimplemented from XMLDocumentHandler.

void DOMParser::startEntityReference ( const XMLEntityDecl & entDecl ) [virtual]

Handle a start entity reference event.
This method is used to indicate the start of an entity reference. If the expand entity reference flag is true, then a new DOM Entity reference node is created.
Parameters:

entDecl A const reference to the object containing the entity declaration information.

Reimplemented from XMLDocumentHandler.

void DOMParser::startExtSubset ( ) [virtual]

void DOMParser::startInputSource ( const InputSource & inputSource ) [virtual]

Handle a 'start input source' event.
This method is used to indicate the start of parsing an external entity file.
This method is a no-op for this DOM parse implementation.
Parameters:

inputSource A const reference to the InputSource object which points to the external entity being parsed.

Reimplemented from XMLEntityHandler.
