Class SMInputCursor

java.lang.Object

org.codehaus.staxmate.in.SMInputCursor

Direct Known Subclasses:

SMFlatteningCursor, SMHierarchicCursor

public abstract class SMInputCursor
extends Object

Base class for reader-side cursors that form the main input side abstraction offered by StaxMate. This class offers the main API for applications to use: sub-classes generally just implement abstract methods or override default behavior, but do not offer new public methods. As a result, up-casts are usually not necessary.

Implementation Note: as cursors are thin wrappers around XMLStreamReader2, and since not all Stax implementations implement XMLStreamReader2, some wrapping may be needed to expose basic Stax 1.0 XMLStreamReaders as Stax2 XMLStreamReader2 readers. But without native support, not all stax2 features may be available for such stream readers. This should usuall not be a problem with cursor functionality, as cursors will try to limit their usage to known working subset, but care must be taken if application code wants to directly access underlying stream reader.

Field Detail

mFilter

protected SMFilter mFilter

Optional filter object that can be used to filter out events of types caller is not interested in.

mElemTracking

protected SMInputCursor.Tracking mElemTracking

Whether element information is to be tracked or not, and if it is, how much of it will be stored. See SMInputCursor.Tracking for details.

mElemInfoFactory

protected ElementInfoFactory mElemInfoFactory

Optional factory instance that is used to create element info objects if element tracking is enabled. If null, will use default generation mechanism, implemented by SMInputCursor itself.

Note that by default, this factory will be passed down to child and descendant cursors this cursor creates, so usually one only needs to set the factory of the root cursor.

mData

protected Object mData

Non-typesafe payload data that applications can use, to pass an extra argument along with cursors. Not used by the framework itself for anything.

_context

protected final SMInputContext _context

_streamReader

protected final org.codehaus.stax2.XMLStreamReader2 _streamReader

Underlying stream reader used. It will either be a native XMLStreamReader2 instance, or a regular (Stax 1.0) XMLStreamReader wrapped in an adapter.

_baseDepth

protected final int _baseDepth

Depth the underlying stream reader had when this cursor was created (which is the number of currently open parent elements). 0 only for root cursor.

_state

protected CursorBase.State _state

Current state of the cursor.

_currEvent

protected SMEvent _currEvent

Event that this cursor currently points to, if valid, or it last pointed to if not (including null if cursor has not yet been advanced).

_nodeCount

protected int _nodeCount

Number of nodes iterated over by this cursor, including the current one.

_elemCount

protected int _elemCount

Number of start elements iterated over by this cursor, including the current one.

_trackedElement

protected SMElementInfo _trackedElement

Element that was last "tracked"; element over which cursor was moved, and of which state has been saved for further use. At this point, it can be null if no elements have yet been iterater over. Alternatively, if it's not null, it may be currently pointed to or not; if it's not, either child cursor is active, or this cursor points to a non-start-element node.

_parentTrackedElement

protected SMElementInfo _parentTrackedElement

Element that the parent of this cursor tracked (if any), when this cursor was created.

_childCursor

protected SMInputCursor _childCursor

Cursor that has been opened for iterating child nodes of the start element node this cursor points to. Needed to keep cursor hierarchy synchronized, independent of which ones are traversed.

Constructor Detail

SMInputCursor

public SMInputCursor(SMInputContext ctxt,
             SMInputCursor parent,
             SMFilter filter)

Method Detail

setFilter

public final void setFilter(SMFilter f)

Method for setting filter used for selecting which events are to be returned to the caller when getNext() is called.

setElementTracking

public final void setElementTracking(SMInputCursor.Tracking tracking)

Changes tracking mode of this cursor to the new specified mode. Default mode for cursors is the one their parent uses; SMInputCursor.Tracking.NONE for root cursors with no parent.

See also getPathDesc() for information on how to display tracked path/element information.

getElementTracking

public final SMInputCursor.Tracking getElementTracking()

setElementInfoFactory

public final void setElementInfoFactory(ElementInfoFactory f)

Set element info factory used for constructing SMElementInfo instances during traversal for this cursor, as well as all of its children.

getElementInfoFactory

public final ElementInfoFactory getElementInfoFactory()

getNodeCount

public int getNodeCount()

Method to access number of nodes cursor has traversed (including ones that were filtered out, if any). Starts with 0, and is incremented each time underlying stream reader's XMLStreamReader.next() method is called, but not counting child cursors' node counts. Whether END_ELEMENTs (end tags) are included depends on type of cursor: for nested (which do not return events for end tags) they are not counted, but for flattened one (that do return) they are counted as nodes.

Returns:

Number of nodes (events) cursor has traversed

getElementCount

public int getElementCount()

Method to access number of start elements cursor has traversed (including ones that were filtered out, if any). Starts with 0, and is incremented each time underlying stream reader's XMLStreamReader.next() method is called and has moved over a start element, but not counting child cursors' element counts.

Returns:

Number of start elements cursor has traversed

getParentCount

public abstract int getParentCount()

Number of parent elements that the token/event cursor points to has, if it points to one. If not, either most recent valid parent count (if cursor is closed), or the depth that it will have once is is advanced. One practical result is that a nested cursor instance will always have a single constant value it returns, whereas flattening cursors can return different values during traversal. Another thing to notice that matching START_ELEMENT and END_ELEMENT will always correspond to the same parent count.

For example, here are expected return values for an example XML document:

  <!-- Comment outside tree --> [0]
  <root> [0]
    Text [1]
    <branch> [1]
      Inner text [2]
      <child /> [2]/[2]
    </branch> [1]
  </root> [0]

Numbers in bracket are depths that would be returned when the cursor points to the node.

Note: depths are different from what many other xml processing APIs (such as Stax and XmlPull)return.

Returns:

Number of enclosing nesting levels, ie. number of parent start elements for the node that cursor currently points to (or, in case of initial state, that it will point to if scope has node(s)).

getCurrEvent

public SMEvent getCurrEvent()

Returns the type of event this cursor either currently points to (if in valid state), or pointed to (if ever iterated forward), or null if just created.

Returns:

Type of event this cursor points to, if it currently points to one, or last one it pointed to otherwise (if ever pointed to a valid event), or null if neither.

getCurrEventCode

public int getCurrEventCode()

Convenience method for accessing type of the current event (as would be returned by getCurrEvent()) as one of event types defined in XMLStreamConstants (like XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT).

isRootCursor

public final boolean isRootCursor()

Method for determining whether this cursor iterates over root level of the underlying stream reader

Returns:

True if this cursor iterates over root level of the underlying stream reader

getTrackedElement

public SMElementInfo getTrackedElement()

Returns:

Information about last "tracked" element; element we have last iterated over when tracking has been enabled.

getParentTrackedElement

public SMElementInfo getParentTrackedElement()

Returns:

Information about the tracked element the parent cursor had, if parent cursor existed and was tracking element information.

readerAccessible

public final boolean readerAccessible()

Method that can be used to check whether this cursor is currently valid; that is, it is the cursor that points to the event underlying stream is at. Only one cursor at any given time is valid in this sense, although other cursors may be made valid by advancing them (and by process invalidating the cursor that was valid at that point). It is also possible that none of cursors is valid at some point: this is the case when formerly valid cursor reached end of its content (END_ELEMENT).

Returns:

True if the cursor is currently valid; false if not

getStreamReader

public final org.codehaus.stax2.XMLStreamReader2 getStreamReader()

Method that can be used to get direct access to the underlying stream reader. Custom sub-classed versions (which can be constructed by overriding this classes factory methods) can choose to block such access, but the default implementation does allow access to it.

Note that this method should not be needed (or extensively used) for regular StaxMate usage, because direct access to the stream may cause cursor's understanding of stream reader state to be incompatible with its actual state.

Returns:

Stream reader the cursor uses for getting XML events

getCursorLocation

public Location getCursorLocation()
                           throws XMLStreamException

Method to access starting Location of event (as defined by Stax specification) that this cursor points to. Method can only be called if the cursor is valid (as per readerAccessible()); if not, an exception is thrown

Returns:

Location of the event this cursor points to

Throws:

XMLStreamException

getStreamLocation

public Location getStreamLocation()

Method to access Location that the underlying stream reader points to.

Returns:

Location of the event the underlying stream reader points to (independent of whether this cursor points to that event)

getLocation

@Deprecated
public Location getLocation()
                     throws XMLStreamException

Deprecated.

Same as calling getCursorLocation()

Throws:

XMLStreamException

getText

public String getText()
               throws XMLStreamException

Method that can be used when this cursor points to a textual event; something for which XMLStreamReader.getText() can be called. Note that it does not advance the cursor, or combine multiple textual events.

Returns:

Textual content of the current event that this cursor points to, if any

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if either the underlying parser has problems (possibly including event type not being of textual type, see Stax 1.0 specs for details); or if this cursor does not currently point to an event.

collectDescendantText

public String collectDescendantText(boolean includeIgnorable)
                             throws XMLStreamException

Method that can collect all text contained within START_ELEMENT currently pointed by this cursor. Collection is done recursively through all descendant text (CHARACTER, CDATA; optionally SPACE) nodes, ignoring nodes of other types. After collecting text, cursor will be positioned at the END_ELEMENT matching initial START_ELEMENT and thus needs to be advanced to access the next sibling event.

Parameters:

includeIgnorable - Whether text for events of type SPACE should be ignored in the results or not. If false, SPACE events will be skipped; if true, white space will be included in results.

Throws:

XMLStreamException

collectDescendantText

public final String collectDescendantText()
                                   throws XMLStreamException

Same as calling collectDescendantText(boolean) with 'false': that is, do not include ignorable white space (as determined by DTD or Schema) in the result text.

Note: it is not common to have have ignorable white space; it usually results from indentation, but its detection requires DTD/schema-aware processing

Throws:

XMLStreamException

Since:

2.0.0

processDescendantText

public void processDescendantText(Writer w,
                         boolean includeIgnorable)
                           throws IOException,
                                  XMLStreamException

Method similar to collectDescendantText(boolean), but will write the text to specified Writer instead of collecting it into a String.

Parameters:

w - Writer to use for outputting text found

includeIgnorable - Whether text for events of type SPACE should be ignored in the results or not. If false, SPACE events will be skipped; if true, white space will be included in results.

Throws:

IOException

XMLStreamException

getQName

public QName getQName()
               throws XMLStreamException

Throws:

XMLStreamException

getLocalName

public String getLocalName()
                    throws XMLStreamException

For events with fully qualified names (START_ELEMENT, END_ELEMENT, ATTRIBUTE, NAMESPACE) returns the local component of the full name; for events with only non-qualified name (PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, entity and notation declarations, references) returns the name, and for other events, returns null.

Returns:

Local component of the name

Throws:

XMLStreamException

Returns:

Prefix of currently pointed-to START_ELEMENT, if it has one; "" if none

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if cursor does not point to START_ELEMENT

getNsUri

public String getNsUri()
                throws XMLStreamException

Method for accessing namespace URI of the START_ELEMENT this cursor points to.

Returns:

Namespace URI of currently pointed-to START_ELEMENT, if it has one; "" if none

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if cursor does not point to START_ELEMENT

getPrefixedName

public String getPrefixedName()
                       throws XMLStreamException

Returns a String representation of either the fully-qualified name (if the event has full name) or the local name (if event does not have full name but has local name); or if no name available, throws stream exception.

Throws:

XMLStreamException

hasLocalName

public boolean hasLocalName(String expName)
                     throws XMLStreamException

asEvent

public XMLEvent asEvent()
                 throws XMLStreamException

Method for accessing information regarding event this cursor points to, as an instance of XMLEvent. Depending on underlying input source this may be constructed from scratch (for example, if the input cursor was not constructed from XMLEventReader), or accessed from the underlying event reader.

Calling this method does not advance the underlying stream or cursor itself.

getElemStringValue

public String getElemStringValue()
                          throws XMLStreamException

Method that can collect text directly contained within START_ELEMENT currently pointed by this cursor. This is different from collectDescendantText(boolean) in that it does NOT work for mixed content (child elements are not allowed: comments and processing instructions are allowed and ignored if encountered). If any ignorable white space (as per schema, dtd or so) is encountered, it will be ignored.

The main technical difference to collectDescendantText(boolean) is that this method tries to make use of Stax2 v3.0 Typed Access API, if available, and can thus be more efficient.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if content is not accessible; may also be thrown if child elements are encountered.

getElemBooleanValue

public boolean getElemBooleanValue()
                            throws XMLStreamException

Method that can collect text directly contained within START_ELEMENT currently pointed by this cursor and convert it to a boolean value. For method to work, the value must be legal textual representation of boolean data type as specified by W3C Schema (as well as Stax2 Typed Access API). Element also can not contain mixed content (child elements; comments and processing instructions are allowed and ignored if encountered).

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if content is not accessible or convertible to required return type

getElemBooleanValue

public boolean getElemBooleanValue(boolean defValue)
                            throws XMLStreamException

Throws:

XMLStreamException

getElemIntValue

public int getElemIntValue()
                    throws XMLStreamException

Method that can collect text directly contained within START_ELEMENT currently pointed by this cursor and convert it to a int value. For method to work, the value must be legal textual representation of int data type as specified by W3C Schema (as well as Stax2 Typed Access API). Element also can not contain mixed content (child elements; comments and processing instructions are allowed and ignored if encountered).

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if content is not accessible or convertible to required return type

getElemIntValue

For method to work, the value must be legal textual representation of long data type as specified by W3C Schema (as well as Stax2 Typed Access API). Element also can not contain mixed content (child elements; comments and processing instructions are allowed and ignored if encountered).

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if content is not accessible or convertible to required return type

getElemLongValue

public long getElemLongValue(long defValue)
                      throws XMLStreamException

getElemDoubleValue

public double getElemDoubleValue()
                          throws XMLStreamException

Method that can collect text directly contained within START_ELEMENT currently pointed by this cursor and convert it to a double value. For method to work, the value must be legal textual representation of double data type as specified by W3C Schema (as well as Stax2 Typed Access API). Element also can not contain mixed content (child elements; comments and processing instructions are allowed and ignored if encountered).

public <T extends Enum<T>> T getElemEnumValue(Class<T> enumType)
                                throws XMLStreamException

Method that can collect text directly contained within START_ELEMENT currently pointed by this cursor and convert it to one of enumerated values of given type, if textual value non-type, and otherwise to null. If a non-empty value that is not one of legal enumerated values is encountered, a TypedXMLStreamException is thrown.

Element also can not contain mixed content (child elements; comments and processing instructions are allowed and ignored if encountered).

Throws:

XMLStreamException - if content is not accessible or convertible to required return type

org.codehaus.stax2.typed.TypedXMLStreamException - if element value is non-empty and not one of allowed values for the enumeration type

Method for assigning per-cursor application-managed data, readable using getData().

getNext

public abstract SMEvent getNext()
                         throws XMLStreamException

Main iterating method. Will try to advance the cursor to the next visible event (visibility defined by the filter cursor is configured with, if any), and return event type. If no such events are available, will return null.

Note that one side-effect of calling this method is to invalidate the child cursor, if one was active. This is done by iterating over any events child cursor (and its descendants if any) might expose.

Returns:

Type of event (from XMLStreamConstants, such as XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT, if a new node was iterated over; null when there are no more nodes this cursor can iterate over.

Throws:

XMLStreamException - If there are underlying parsing problems.

advance

public final SMInputCursor advance()
                            throws XMLStreamException

Method that does what getNext() does, but instead of returning resulting event type, returns this cursor. The main purpose of this method is to allow for chaining calls. This is especially useful right after constructing a root level cursor, and needing to advance it to point to the root element. As such, a common idiom is:

 SMInputCursor positionedRoot = smFactory.rootElementCursor(file).advance();

which both constructs the root element cursor, and positions it over the root element. Can be similarly used with other kinds of cursors as well, of course

Throws:

XMLStreamException

Since:

2.0

childCursor

public SMInputCursor childCursor(SMFilter f)
                          throws XMLStreamException

Method that will create a new nested cursor for iterating over all (immediate) child nodes of the start element this cursor currently points to that are passed by the specified filter. If cursor does not point to a start element, it will throw IllegalStateException; if it does not support concept of child cursors, it will throw UnsupportedOperationException

Parameters:

f - Filter child cursor is to use for filtering out 'unwanted' nodes; may be null if no filtering is to be done

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If cursor can not be created due to the state cursor is in.

UnsupportedOperationException - If cursor does not allow creation of child cursors.

public SMInputCursor descendantCursor(SMFilter f)
                               throws XMLStreamException

Method that will create a new nested cursor for iterating over all the descendant (children and grandchildren) nodes of the start element this cursor currently points to that are accepted by the specified filter. If cursor does not point to a start element, it will throw IllegalStateException; if it does not support concept of descendant cursors, it will throw UnsupportedOperationException

Parameters:

f - Filter child cursor is to use for filtering out 'unwanted' nodes; may be null if no filtering is to be done

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If cursor can not be created due to the state cursor is in (or for some cursors, if they never allow creating such cursors)

UnsupportedOperationException - If cursor does not allow creation of descendant cursors.

Throws:

XMLStreamException

constructStreamException

public XMLStreamException constructStreamException(String msg)

Method for constructing stream exception with given message, and location that matches that of the underlying stream regardless of whether this cursor is valid (that is, will indicate location of the stream which may differ from where this cursor was last valid)

throwStreamException

public void throwStreamException(String msg)

Throws:

XMLStreamException

getPathDesc

public String getPathDesc()

Method that generates developer-readable description of the logical path of the event this cursor points to, assuming that element tracking is enabled. If it is, a path description will be constructed; if not, result will be "." ("unspecified current location").

Note: while results look similar to XPath expressions, they are not accurate (or even valid) XPath. This is partly because of filtering, and partly because of differences between element/node index calculation. The idea is to make it easier to get reasonable idea of logical location, in addition to physical input location.

getCurrEventDesc

protected String getCurrEventDesc()

Returns:

Developer-readable description of the event this cursor currently points to.

toString

public String toString()

Overridden implementation will just display description of the event this cursor points to (or last pointed to, if not valid)

constructElementInfo

protected SMElementInfo constructElementInfo(SMElementInfo parent,
                                 SMElementInfo prevSibling)
                                      throws XMLStreamException

Method cursor calls when it needs to track element state information; if so, it calls this method to take a snapshot of the element.

Note caller already suppresses calls so that this method is only called when information needs to be preserved. Further, previous element is only passed if such linkage is to be preserved (reason for not always doing it is the increased memory usage).

Finally, note that this method does NOT implement ElementInfoFactory, as its signature does not include the cursor argument, as that's passed as this pointer already.

Throws:

XMLStreamException

constructChildCursor

protected abstract SMInputCursor constructChildCursor(SMFilter f)
                                               throws XMLStreamException

Since:

2.2

getBaseParentCount

protected final int getBaseParentCount()

This method is needed by flattening cursors when they have child cursors: if so, they can determine their depth relative to child cursor's base parent count (and can not check stream -- as it may have moved -- nor want to have separate field to track this information)
