Attributes2Impl

public class Attributes2Impl
extends AttributesImpl implements Attributes2

java.lang.Object
   ↳ org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl
     ↳ org.xml.sax.ext.Attributes2Impl


SAX2 extension helper for additional Attributes information, implementing the Attributes2 interface.

This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY.

This is not part of core-only SAX2 distributions.

The specified flag for each attribute will always be true, unless it has been set to false in the copy constructor or using setSpecified(int, boolean). Similarly, the declared flag for each attribute will always be false, except for defaulted attributes (specified is false), non-CDATA attributes, or when it is set to true using setDeclared(int, boolean). If you change an attribute's type by hand, you may need to modify its declared flag to match.

Summary

Public constructors

Attributes2Impl

Added in API level 1
Attributes2Impl ()

Construct a new, empty Attributes2Impl object.

Attributes2Impl

Added in API level 1
Attributes2Impl (Attributes atts)

Copy an existing Attributes or Attributes2 object. If the object implements Attributes2, values of the specified and declared flags for each attribute are copied. Otherwise the flag values are defaulted to assume no DTD was used, unless there is evidence to the contrary (such as attributes with type other than CDATA, which must have been declared).

This constructor is especially useful inside a startElement event.

Parameters
atts Attributes: The existing Attributes object.

Public methods

addAttribute

Added in API level 1
void addAttribute (String uri, 
                String localName, 
                String qName, 
                String type, 
                String value)

Add an attribute to the end of the list, setting its "specified" flag to true. To set that flag's value to false, use setSpecified(int, boolean).

Unless the attribute type is CDATA, this attribute is marked as being declared in the DTD. To set that flag's value to true for CDATA attributes, use setDeclared(int, boolean).

Parameters
uri String: The Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available or Namespace processing is not being performed.
localName String: The local name, or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
qName String: The qualified (prefixed) name, or the empty string if qualified names are not available.
type String: The attribute type as a string.
value String: The attribute value.

isDeclared

Added in API level 1
boolean isDeclared (String uri, 
                String localName)

Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. This helps distinguish two kinds of attributes that SAX reports as CDATA: ones that were declared (and hence are usually valid), and those that were not (and which are never valid).

Remember that since DTDs do not "understand" namespaces, the namespace URI associated with an attribute may not have come from the DTD. The declaration will have applied to the attribute's qName.

Parameters
uri String: The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the name has no Namespace URI.
localName String: The attribute's local name.
Returns
boolean true if the attribute was declared in the DTD, false otherwise.

isDeclared

Added in API level 1
boolean isDeclared (int index)

Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. This helps distinguish two kinds of attributes that SAX reports as CDATA: ones that were declared (and hence are usually valid), and those that were not (and which are never valid).

Parameters
index int: The attribute index (zero-based).
Returns
boolean true if the attribute was declared in the DTD, false otherwise.

isDeclared

Added in API level 1
boolean isDeclared (String qName)

Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. This helps distinguish two kinds of attributes that SAX reports as CDATA: ones that were declared (and hence are usually valid), and those that were not (and which are never valid).

Parameters
qName String: The XML qualified (prefixed) name.
Returns
boolean true if the attribute was declared in the DTD, false otherwise.

isSpecified

Added in API level 1
boolean isSpecified (String uri, 
                String localName)

Returns the current value of an attribute's "specified" flag.

Parameters
uri String: The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the name has no Namespace URI.
localName String: The attribute's local name.
Returns
boolean current flag value
Throws
IllegalArgumentException When the supplied names do not identify an attribute.

isSpecified

Added in API level 1
boolean isSpecified (int index)

Returns the current value of an attribute's "specified" flag.

Parameters
index int: The attribute index (zero-based).
Returns
boolean current flag value
Throws
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException When the supplied index does not identify an attribute.

isSpecified

Added in API level 1
boolean isSpecified (String qName)

Returns the current value of an attribute's "specified" flag.

Parameters
qName String: The XML qualified (prefixed) name.
Returns
boolean current flag value
Throws
IllegalArgumentException When the supplied name does not identify an attribute.

removeAttribute

Added in API level 1
void removeAttribute (int index)

Remove an attribute from the list.

Parameters
index int: The index of the attribute (zero-based).

setAttributes

Added in API level 1
void setAttributes (Attributes atts)

Copy an entire Attributes object. The "specified" flags are assigned as true, and "declared" flags as false (except when an attribute's type is not CDATA), unless the object is an Attributes2 object. In that case those flag values are all copied.

Parameters
atts Attributes: The attributes to copy.

See also:

setDeclared

Added in API level 1
void setDeclared (int index, 
                boolean value)

Assign a value to the "declared" flag of a specific attribute. This is normally needed only for attributes of type CDATA, including attributes whose type is changed to or from CDATA.

Parameters
index int: The index of the attribute (zero-based).
value boolean: The desired flag value.
Throws
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException When the supplied index does not identify an attribute.

See also:

setSpecified

Added in API level 1
void setSpecified (int index, 
                boolean value)

Assign a value to the "specified" flag of a specific attribute. This is the only way this flag can be cleared, except clearing by initialization with the copy constructor.

Parameters
index int: The index of the attribute (zero-based).
value boolean: The desired flag value.
Throws
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException When the supplied index does not identify an attribute.

Hooray!
