Class Overview

Base class for deriving an XML filter.

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 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.

Public Constructors

public XMLFilterImpl ()

Added in API level 1

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.

public XMLFilterImpl (XMLReader parent)

Added in API level 1

Construct an XML filter with the specified parent.

Parameters
parent the XML reader from which this filter receives its events.

Public Methods

public void characters (char[] ch, int start, int length)

Added in API level 1

Filter a character data event.

Added in API level 1

Filter an end element event.

Parameters
uri The element's Namespace URI, or the empty string.
