Class EventReaderDelegate

java.lang.Object

javax.xml.stream.util.EventReaderDelegate

All Implemented Interfaces:: Iterator<Object>, XMLEventReader

public class EventReaderDelegate extends Object implements XMLEventReader

This is the base class for deriving an XMLEventReader filter. This class is designed to sit between an XMLEventReader and an application's XMLEventReader. By default each method does nothing but call the corresponding method on the parent interface.

Since:

1.6

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()`	Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Methods declared in interface Iterator

forEachRemaining, remove

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default void`	`forEachRemaining(Consumer<? super Object> action)`	Performs the given action for each remaining element until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception.
`default void`	`remove()`	Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned by this iterator (optional operation).

Constructor Details

EventReaderDelegate

public EventReaderDelegate()

Construct an empty filter with no parent.

EventReaderDelegate

public EventReaderDelegate(XMLEventReader reader)

Construct an filter with the specified parent.

Parameters:: reader - the parent

Method Details

setParent

public void setParent(XMLEventReader reader)

Set the parent of this instance.

Parameters:: reader - the new parent

getParent

public XMLEventReader getParent()

Get the parent of this instance.

Returns:: the parent or null if none is set

nextEvent

public XMLEvent nextEvent() throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Gets the next XMLEvent. The initial event is StartDocument.

Specified by:

nextEvent in interface XMLEventReader

Returns:

the next XMLEvent

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if there is an error with the underlying XML.

See Also:

public Object next()

Description copied from interface: Iterator

Returns the next element in the iteration.

Specified by:: next in interface Iterator<Object>
Returns:: the next element in the iteration

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Check if there are more events. Returns true if there are more events and false otherwise.

Specified by:: hasNext in interface Iterator<Object>
Specified by:: hasNext in interface XMLEventReader
Returns:: true if the event reader has more events, false otherwise

peek

public XMLEvent peek() throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Check the next XMLEvent without reading it from the stream. Returns null if the stream is at EOF or has no more XMLEvents. A call to peek() will be equal to the next return of next().

Specified by:

peek in interface XMLEventReader

Returns:

the next XMLEvent

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if an error occurs

See Also:

close

public void close() throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Frees any resources associated with this Reader. This method does not close the underlying input source.

Specified by:: close in interface XMLEventReader
Throws:: XMLStreamException - if there are errors freeing associated resources

getElementText

public String getElementText() throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Reads the content of a text-only element. Precondition: the current event is START_ELEMENT. Postcondition: The current event is the corresponding END_ELEMENT.

Specified by:: getElementText in interface XMLEventReader
Returns:: the text of the element
Throws:: XMLStreamException - if the current event is not a START_ELEMENT or if a non text element is encountered

nextTag

public XMLEvent nextTag() throws XMLStreamException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Skips any insignificant space events until a START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT is reached. If anything other than space characters are encountered, an exception is thrown. This method should be used when processing element-only content because the parser is not able to recognize ignorable whitespace if the DTD is missing or not interpreted.

Specified by:: nextTag in interface XMLEventReader
Returns:: a START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT
Throws:: XMLStreamException - if anything other than space characters are encountered

getProperty

public Object getProperty(String name) throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: XMLEventReader

Get the value of a feature/property from the underlying implementation

Specified by:: getProperty in interface XMLEventReader
Parameters:: name - The name of the property
Returns:: The value of the property
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the property is not supported
