org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:: ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler, XMLFilter, XMLReader

public class XMLFilterImpl
extends Object
implements XMLFilter, EntityResolver, DTDHandler, ContentHandler, ErrorHandler

Base class for deriving an XML filter.

This class is designed to sit between an XMLReader and the client application's event handlers. By default, it does nothing but pass requests up to the reader and events on to the handlers unmodified, but subclasses can override specific methods to modify the event stream or the configuration requests as they pass through.

Since:: 1.4, SAX 2.0

Constructor Details
- XMLFilterImpl
  
  public XMLFilterImpl()
  
  Construct an empty XML filter, with no parent.
  This filter will have no parent: you must assign a parent before you start a parse or do any configuration with setFeature or setProperty, unless you use this as a pure event consumer rather than as an XMLReader.
  
  See Also:
  
  XMLReader.setFeature(java.lang.String, boolean), XMLReader.setProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object), setParent(org.xml.sax.XMLReader)
- XMLFilterImpl
  
  public XMLFilterImpl(XMLReader parent)
  
  Construct an XML filter with the specified parent.
  
  See Also:
  
  setParent(org.xml.sax.XMLReader), getParent()
Method Details
- setParent
  
  public void setParent(XMLReader parent)
  
  Set the parent reader.
  This is the XMLReader from which this filter will obtain its events and to which it will pass its configuration requests. The parent may itself be another filter.
  
  If there is no parent reader set, any attempt to parse or to set or get a feature or property will fail.
  
  Specified by:
  
  setParent in interface XMLFilter
  
  Parameters:
  
  parent - The parent XML reader.
  
  See Also:
  
  getParent()

  Specified by:
