Constructor Detail

### SerializerBase

    public SerializerBase()

Method Detail

### comment

    public void comment(java.lang.String data)
                 throws SAXException

  Receive notification of a comment.

  Specified by:
    `comment` in interface `ExtendedLexicalHandler`
  Parameters:
    `data` - the comment, but unlike the SAX comment() method this method takes a String rather than a character array.
  Throws:
    `SAXException`
  See Also:
    `ExtendedLexicalHandler.comment(String)`

### setDocumentLocator

    public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator)

  Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

  Specified by:
    `setDocumentLocator` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `locator` - An object that can return the location of any SAX document event. Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

    SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler interface.

    The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

    Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

  See Also:
    `Locator`

### addAttribute

    public void addAttribute(java.lang.String uri,
                             java.lang.String localName,
                             java.lang.String rawName,
                             java.lang.String type,
                             java.lang.String value)
                      throws SAXException

  Adds the given attribute to the set of collected attributes , but only if there is a currently open element. An element is currently open if a startElement() notification has occured but the start of the element has not yet been written to the output. In the stream case this means that we have not yet been forced to close the elements opening tag by another notification, such as a character notification.

  Specified by:
    `addAttribute` in interface `ExtendedContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `uri` - the URI of the attribute
    `localName` - the local name of the attribute
    `rawName` - the qualified name of the attribute
    `type` - the type of the attribute (probably CDATA)
    `value` - the value of the attribute
  Throws:
    `SAXException`
  See Also:
    `ExtendedContentHandler.addAttribute(String, String, String, String, String)`

### addAttributeAlways

    public void addAttributeAlways(java.lang.String uri,
                                   java.lang.String localName,
                                   java.lang.String rawName,
                                   java.lang.String type,
                                   java.lang.String value)

  Adds the given attribute to the set of attributes, even if there is no currently open element. This is useful if a SAX startPrefixMapping() should need to add an attribute before the element name is seen.

  Parameters:
    `uri` - the URI of the attribute
    `localName` - the local name of the attribute
    `rawName` - the qualified name of the attribute
    `type` - the type of the attribute (probably CDATA)
    `value` - the value of the attribute

### addAttribute

    public void addAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                             java.lang.String value)

  Adds the given attribute to the set of collected attributes, but only if there is a currently open element. This method is only called by XSLTC.

  Specified by:
    `addAttribute` in interface `ExtendedContentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the attribute's qualified name
    `value` - the value of the attribute

### addAttributes

    public void addAttributes(Attributes atts)

  Specified by:
    `asContentHandler` in interface `Serializer`
  Returns:
    A `ContentHandler` interface into this serializer, or null if the serializer is not SAX 2 capable
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - An I/O exception occured

  Parameters:
    `node` - the Node to serialize
  Throws:
    `SAXException`

### error

    public void error(SAXParseException exc)
               throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ErrorHandler`
  Receive notification of a recoverable error.

  This corresponds to the definition of "error" in section 1.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, a validating parser would use this callback to report the violation of a validity constraint. The default behaviour is to take no action.

  The SAX parser must continue to provide normal parsing events after invoking this method: it should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end. If the application cannot do so, then the parser should report a fatal error even if the XML 1.0 recommendation does not require it to do so.

  Filters may use this method to report other, non-XML errors as well.

  Specified by:
    `error` in interface `ErrorHandler`
  Parameters:
    `exc` - The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `ErrorHandler.error(SAXParseException)`

### fatalError

    public void fatalError(SAXParseException exc)
                    throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ErrorHandler`
  Receive notification of a non-recoverable error.

  This corresponds to the definition of "fatal error" in section 1.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, a parser would use this callback to report the violation of a well-formedness constraint.

  The application must assume that the document is unusable after the parser has invoked this method, and should continue (if at all) only for the sake of collecting addition error messages: in fact, SAX parsers are free to stop reporting any other events once this method has been invoked.

  Specified by:
    `fatalError` in interface `ErrorHandler`
  Parameters:
    `exc` - The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `ErrorHandler.fatalError(SAXParseException)`

### warning

    public void warning(SAXParseException exc)
                 throws SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `ErrorHandler`
  Receive notification of a warning.

  SAX parsers will use this method to report conditions that are not errors or fatal errors as defined by the XML 1.0 recommendation. The default behaviour is to take no action.

  The SAX parser must continue to provide normal parsing events after invoking this method: it should still be possible for the application to process the document through to the end.

  Filters may use this method to report other, non-XML warnings as well.

  Specified by:
    `warning` in interface `ErrorHandler`
  Parameters:
    `exc` - The warning information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `ErrorHandler.warning(SAXParseException)`

### fireEndEntity

    public void fireEndEntity(java.lang.String name)
                       throws SAXException

  To fire off end entity trace event

  Parameters:
    `name` - Name of entity
  Throws:
    `SAXException`

### startDocument

    public void startDocument()
                       throws SAXException

  Receive notification of the beginning of a document. This method is never a self generated call, but only called externally.

  The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any other methods in this interface or in DTDHandler (except for setDocumentLocator).

  Specified by:
    `startDocument` in interface `ContentHandler`
  Throws:
    `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
    `SAXException`
  See Also:
    `ContentHandler.endDocument()`

### setSourceLocator

    public void setSourceLocator(SourceLocator locator)

  This method is used to set the source locator, which might be used to generated an error message.

  Specified by:
