Class XMLReaderAdapter

java.lang.Object

org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, Parser

public class XMLReaderAdapter
extends Object
implements Parser, ContentHandler

Adapt a SAX2 XMLReader as a SAX1 Parser.

This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

This class wraps a SAX2 XMLReader and makes it act as a SAX1 Parser. The XMLReader must support a true value for the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes property or parsing will fail with a SAXException; if the XMLReader supports a false value for the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces property, that will also be used to improve efficiency.

Since:

1.4, SAX 2.0

Constructor Details

XMLReaderAdapter

public XMLReaderAdapter() throws SAXException

Create a new adapter.

Use the "org.xml.sax.driver" property to locate the SAX2 driver to embed.

SAXException - If the embedded driver cannot be instantiated or if the org.xml.sax.driver property is not specified.

XMLReaderAdapter

public XMLReaderAdapter(XMLReader xmlReader)

Create a new adapter.

Create a new adapter, wrapped around a SAX2 XMLReader. The adapter will make the XMLReader act like a SAX1 Parser.

Parameters:

xmlReader - The SAX2 XMLReader to wrap.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the argument is null.

Method Details

setLocale

public void setLocale(Locale locale) throws SAXException

Set the locale for error reporting.

This is not supported in SAX2, and will always throw an exception.

Specified by:

setLocale in interface Parser

locale - the locale for error reporting.

Throws:

SAXException - Thrown unless overridden.

See Also:

Parser.setLocale(java.util.Locale)
