All Implemented Interfaces:
  Receiver, javax.xml.transform.Result

public class StylesheetStripper
extends Stripper

The StylesheetStripper refines the Stripper class to do stripping of whitespace nodes on a stylesheet. This is handled specially (a) because it is done at compile time, so there is no Controller available, and (b) because the rules are very simple

Constructor Detail

### StylesheetStripper

    public StylesheetStripper()

Method Detail

### getAnother

    public Stripper getAnother()

  Description copied from class: `Stripper`
  Get a clean copy of this stripper

  Overrides:
    `getAnother` in class `Stripper`

### setStylesheetRules

    public void setStylesheetRules(NamePool namePool)

  Set the rules appropriate for whitespace-stripping in a stylesheet

### isSpacePreserving

    public byte isSpacePreserving(int nameCode)

  Decide whether an element is in the set of white-space preserving element types

  Overrides:
    `isSpacePreserving` in class `Stripper`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - identifies the element being tested
  Returns:
    ALWAYS_PRESERVE if the element is in the set of white-space preserving element types, ALWAYS_STRIP if the element is to be stripped regardless of the xml:space setting, and STRIP_DEFAULT otherwise

### isSpacePreserving

    public byte isSpacePreserving(NodeInfo element)

  Decide whether an element is in the set of white-space preserving element types. This version of the method is useful in cases where getting the namecode of the element is potentially expensive, e.g. with DOM nodes.

  Overrides:
    `isSpacePreserving` in class `Stripper`
  Parameters:
    `element` - Identifies the element whose whitespace is possibly to be preserved
  Returns:
    true if the element is in the set of white-space preserving element types

### characters

    public void characters(java.lang.CharSequence chars,
                           int locationId,
                           int properties)
                    throws XPathException

  Handle a text node

  Specified by:
    `characters` in interface `Receiver`
  Overrides:
    `characters` in class `Stripper`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
