public class LocatorImpl
extends java.lang.Object
implements Locator

Provide an optional convenience implementation of Locator.

This class is available mainly for application writers, who can use it to make a persistent snapshot of a locator at any point during a document parse:

     Locator locator;
     Locator startloc;

     public void setLocator (Locator locator)
     {
             // note the locator
       this.locator = locator;
     }

     public void startDocument ()
     {
             // save the location of the start of the document
             // for future use.
       Locator startloc = new LocatorImpl(locator);
     }

Normally, parser writers will not use this class, since it is more efficient to provide location information only when requested, rather than constantly updating a Locator object.

Since:
  SAX 1.0

Constructor Detail

### LocatorImpl

    public LocatorImpl()

  Zero-argument constructor.

  This will not normally be useful, since the main purpose of this class is to make a snapshot of an existing Locator.

### LocatorImpl

    public LocatorImpl(Locator locator)

  Copy constructor.

  Create a persistent copy of the current state of a locator. When the original locator changes, this copy will still keep the original values (and it can be used outside the scope of DocumentHandler methods).

  Parameters:
    `locator` - The locator to copy.

Method Detail

### getPublicId

    public java.lang.String getPublicId()

  Return the saved public identifier.
  Specified by:
    getPublicId in interface Locator
  Returns:
    The public identifier as a string, or null if none is available.
  See Also:
    `Locator.getPublicId()`, `setPublicId(java.lang.String)`

### getSystemId

    public java.lang.String getSystemId()

  Return the saved system identifier.
  Specified by:
    getSystemId in interface Locator
  Returns:
    The system identifier as a string, or null if none is available.
  See Also:
    `Locator.getSystemId()`, `setSystemId(java.lang.String)`

### getLineNumber

    public int getLineNumber()

  Return the saved line number (1-based).
  Specified by:
    getLineNumber in interface Locator
  Returns:
    The line number as an integer, or -1 if none is available.
  See Also:
    `Locator.getLineNumber()`, `setLineNumber(int)`

### getColumnNumber

    public int getColumnNumber()

  Return the saved column number (1-based).
  Specified by:
    getColumnNumber in interface Locator
  Returns:
    The column number as an integer, or -1 if none is available.
  See Also:
    `Locator.getColumnNumber()`, `setColumnNumber(int)`

### setPublicId

    public void setPublicId(java.lang.String publicId)

  Set the public identifier for this locator.
  Parameters:
    `publicId` - The new public identifier, or null if none is available.
  See Also:
    `getPublicId()`

### setSystemId

    public void setSystemId(java.lang.String systemId)

  Set the system identifier for this locator.
  Parameters:
    `systemId` - The new system identifier, or null if none is available.
  See Also:
    `getSystemId()`

### setLineNumber

    public void setLineNumber(int lineNumber)

  Set the line number for this locator (1-based).
  Parameters:
    `lineNumber` - The line number, or -1 if none is available.
  See Also:
    `getLineNumber()`

### setColumnNumber

    public void setColumnNumber(int columnNumber)

  Set the column number for this locator (1-based).
  Parameters:
    `columnNumber` - The column number, or -1 if none is available.
  See Also:
    `getColumnNumber()`
