Class ContentHandlerProxy

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.event.Emitter
          net.sf.saxon.event.ContentHandlerProxy

All Implemented Interfaces:
  org.xml.sax.Locator, Receiver, javax.xml.transform.Result

Direct Known Subclasses:
  TypedContentHandler

public class ContentHandlerProxy
extends Emitter
implements org.xml.sax.Locator

A ContentHandlerProxy is an Emitter that filters data before passing it to an underlying SAX2 ContentHandler. Relevant events (notably comments) can also be fed to a LexicalHandler.

Note that in general the output passed to an Emitter corresponds to an External General Parsed Entity. A SAX2 ContentHandler only expects to deal with well-formed XML documents, so we only pass it the contents of the first element encountered.

This ContentHandlerProxy provides no access to type information. For a ContentHandler that makes type information available, see `TypedContentHandler`

### setUndeclareNamespaces

    public void setUndeclareNamespaces(boolean undeclareNamespaces)

  Specified by:
    `startDocument` in interface `Receiver`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### endDocument

    public void endDocument()
                     throws XPathException

  Notify the end of a document node

  Specified by:
    `endDocument` in interface `Receiver`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### startElement

    public void startElement(int nameCode,
                             int typeCode,
                             int locationId,
                             int properties)
                      throws XPathException

  Notify the start of an element

  Specified by:
    `startElement` in interface `Receiver`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - integer code identifying the name of the element within the name pool.
    `typeCode` - integer code identifying the element's type within the name pool. The value -1 indicates the default type, xdt:untyped.
    `locationId` - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationMap to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
    `properties` - bit-significant properties of the element node. If there are no revelant properties, zero is supplied.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### namespace

    public void namespace(int namespaceCode,
                          int properties)
                   throws XPathException

  Notify a namespace. Namespaces are notified after the startElement event, and before any children for the element.

  Specified by:
    `namespace` in interface `Receiver`
  Parameters:
    `namespaceCode` - an integer: the top half is a prefix code, the bottom half a URI code. These may be translated into an actual prefix and URI using the name pool. A prefix code of zero represents the empty prefix (that is, the default namespace). A URI code of zero represents a URI of "", that is, a namespace undeclaration.
    `properties` - The most important property is REJECT_DUPLICATES. If this property is set, the namespace declaration will be rejected if it conflicts with a previous declaration of the same prefix. If the property is not set, the namespace declaration will be ignored if it conflicts with a previous declaration. This reflects the fact that when copying a tree, namespaces for child elements are emitted before the namespaces of their parent element. Unfortunately this conflicts with the XSLT rule for complex content construction, where the recovery action in the event of conflicts is to take the namespace that comes last. XSLT therefore doesn't recover from this error: it sets the REJECT_DUPLICATES flag, and this is treated as a hard error.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### attribute

    public void attribute(int nameCode,
                          int typeCode,
                          java.lang.CharSequence value,
                          int locationId,
                          int properties)
                   throws XPathException

  Notify an attribute. Attributes are notified after the startElement event, and before any children.

  Specified by:
    `attribute` in interface `Receiver`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - The name of the attribute, as held in the name pool
    `typeCode` - The type of the attribute, as held in the name pool
    `locationId` - an integer which can be interpreted using a LocationMap to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
    `properties` - Bit significant value. The following bits are defined:
  DISABLE_ESCAPING
    Disable escaping for this attribute
  NO_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS
    Attribute value contains no special characters
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### startContent

    public void startContent()
                      throws XPathException

  Notify the start of the content, that is, the completion of all attributes and namespaces. Note that the initial receiver of output from XSLT instructions will not receive this event, it has to detect it itself. Note that this event is reported for every element even if it has no attributes, no namespaces, and no content.

  Specified by:
    `startContent` in interface `Receiver`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### endElement

    public void endElement()

  Specified by:
    `endElement` in interface `Receiver`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

  Specified by:
    `characters` in interface `Receiver`
  Parameters:

                                throws XPathException

  The following function is called when it is found that the output is not a well-formed document. Unless the ContentHandler accepts "balanced content", this is a fatal error.

  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### processingInstruction

                                      java.lang.CharSequence data,
