Class XMLChar

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.jasper.xmlparser.XMLChar

public class XMLChar
extends java.lang.Object

This class defines the basic XML character properties. The data in this class can be used to verify that a character is a valid XML character or if the character is a space, name start, or name character.

A series of convenience methods are supplied to ease the burden of the developer. Because inlining the checks can improve per character performance, the tables of character properties are public. Using the character as an index into the CHARS array and applying the appropriate mask flag (e.g. MASK_VALID), yields the same results as calling the convenience methods. There is one exception: check the comments for the isValid method for details.

Field Detail

MASK_VALID

public static final int MASK_VALID
Valid character mask.

Constant Field Values

MASK_SPACE

public static final int MASK_SPACE
Space character mask.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

MASK_NAME_START

public static final int MASK_NAME_START
Name start character mask.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

MASK_NAME

public static final int MASK_NAME
Name character mask.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

MASK_PUBID

public static final int MASK_PUBID
Pubid character mask.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

MASK_CONTENT

public static final int MASK_CONTENT
Content character mask. Special characters are those that can be considered the start of markup, such as '<' and '&'. The various newline characters are considered special as well. All other valid XML characters can be considered content.

This is an optimization for the inner loop of character scanning.

MASK_NCNAME_START

public static final int MASK_NCNAME_START
NCName start character mask.

Constant Field Values

MASK_NCNAME

public static final int MASK_NCNAME
NCName character mask.

XMLChar

public XMLChar()
Method Detail

isSupplemental

public static boolean isSupplemental(int c)
Returns true if the specified character is a supplemental character.

Parameters:
c - The character to check.

supplemental

public static int supplemental(char h,
                               char l)
Returns true the supplemental character corresponding to the given surrogates.

Parameters:
h - The high surrogate.
l - The low surrogate.

highSurrogate

public static char highSurrogate(int c)
Returns the high surrogate of a supplemental character

Parameters:
c - The supplemental character to "split".

lowSurrogate

public static char lowSurrogate(int c)
Returns the low surrogate of a supplemental character

Parameters:
c - The supplemental character to "split".

isHighSurrogate

public static boolean isHighSurrogate(int c)
Returns whether the given character is a high surrogate

Parameters:
c - The character to check.

isLowSurrogate

public static boolean isLowSurrogate(int c)
Returns whether the given character is a low surrogate

Parameters:
c - The character to check.

isValid

public static boolean isValid(int c)
Returns true if the specified character is valid. This method also checks the surrogate character range from 0x10000 to 0x10FFFF.

If the program chooses to apply the mask directly to the CHARS array, then they are responsible for checking the surrogate character range.

Parameters:
c - The character to check.
