org.apache.tomcat.util.digester
Class NodeCreateRule

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Rule
      extended by org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.NodeCreateRule

public class NodeCreateRule
extends Rule

A rule implementation that creates a DOM Node containing the XML at the element that matched the rule. Two concrete types of nodes can be created by this rule:

The created node will be normalized, meaning it will not contain text nodes that only contain white space characters.

The created Node will be pushed on Digester's object stack when done. To use it in the context of another DOM Document, it must be imported first, using the Document method importNode().

Important Note: This is implemented by replacing the SAX ContentHandler in the parser used by Digester, and resetting it when the matched element is closed. As a side effect, rules that would match XML nodes under the element that matches a NodeCreateRule will never be triggered by Digester, which usually is the behavior one would expect.

Note that the current implementation does not set the namespace prefixes in the exported nodes. The (usually more important) namespace URIs are set, of course.

Since:
Digester 1.4

Constructor Detail

NodeCreateRule

public NodeCreateRule()
               throws javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException
Default constructor. Creates an instance of this rule that will create a DOM Element.

Throws:
javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException

NodeCreateRule

public NodeCreateRule(javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder documentBuilder)
Constructor. Creates an instance of this rule that will create a DOM Element, but lets you specify the JAXP DocumentBuilder that should be used when constructing the node tree.

Parameters:
documentBuilder - the JAXP DocumentBuilder to use

NodeCreateRule

public NodeCreateRule(int nodeType)
               throws javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException
Constructor. Creates an instance of this rule that will create either a DOM Element or a DOM DocumentFragment, depending on the value of the nodeType parameter.

Parameters:
nodeType - the type of node to create, which can be either Node.ELEMENT_NODE or Node.DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the node type is not supported
javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException

NodeCreateRule

public NodeCreateRule(int nodeType,
                      javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder documentBuilder)
Constructor. Creates an instance of this rule that will create either a DOM Element or a DOM DocumentFragment, depending on the value of the nodeType parameter. This constructor lets you specify the JAXP DocumentBuilder that should be used when constructing the node tree.

Parameters:
nodeType - the type of node to create, which can be either Node.ELEMENT_NODE or Node.DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
documentBuilder - the JAXP DocumentBuilder to use
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the node type is not supported
Method Detail

begin

public void begin(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                  java.lang.String name,
                  org.xml.sax.Attributes attributes)
           throws java.lang.Exception
Implemented to replace the content handler currently in use by a NodeBuilder.

Overrides:
begin in class Rule
Parameters:
namespaceURI - the namespace URI of the matching element, or an empty string if the parser is not namespace aware or the element has no namespace
name - the local name if the parser is namespace aware, or just the element name otherwise
attributes - The attribute list of this element
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - indicates a JAXP configuration problem

end

public void end()
         throws java.lang.Exception
Pop the Node off the top of the stack.

Overrides:
end in class Rule
Throws:
java.lang.Exception
