## Detailed Description

This class implements the SAX 'Parser' interface and should be used by applications wishing to parse the XML files using SAX.

It allows the client program to install SAX handlers for event callbacks.

It can be used to instantiate a validating or non-validating parser, by setting a member flag.

Deprecated:
  This interface has been replaced by the SAX2 interface, which includes Namespace support. See SAX2XMLReader for more information.

Note - XMLDocumentHandler calls, when used with SAXParser, will not provide correct namespace information. This is becaue the SAX parser does not support namespace aware processing.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ValSchemes

enum SAXParser::ValSchemes

ValScheme enum used in setValidationScheme Val_Never: Do not report validation errors.

Val_Always: The parser will always report validation errors. Val_Auto: The parser will report validation errors only if a grammar is specified.

|  | const DTDAttDef & | attDef,
|  | const bool | ignore
| ) |  |

virtual

This method is used to report an attribute definition.

This method is a no-op for this SAX driver implementation.

Parameters

  elemDecl | A const reference to the object containing information about the element whose attribute definition was just parsed.

## cacheGrammarFromParse()

void SAXParser::cacheGrammarFromParse | ( | const bool | newState | ) |

Set the 'Grammar caching' flag.

This method allows users to enable or disable caching of grammar when parsing XML documents. When set to true, the parser will cache the resulting grammar for use in subsequent parses.

If the flag is set to true, the 'Use cached grammar' flag will also be set to true.

The parser's default state is: false.

Parameters

  newState | The value specifying whether we should cache grammars or not.

|  | const XMLSize_t | length,
|  | const bool | cdataSection
| ) |  |

virtual

This method is used to report all the characters scanned by the parser.

The driver will invoke the 'characters' method of the user installed SAX Document Handler.

If any advanced callback handlers are installed, the corresponding 'docCharacters' method will also be invoked.

Parameters

  chars | A const pointer to a Unicode string representing the character data.
  length | The length of the Unicode string returned in 'chars'.
  cdataSection | A flag indicating if the characters represent content from the CDATA section.

## parseReset()

void SAXParser::parseReset | ( | XMLPScanToken & | token | ) |

Reset the parser after a progressive parse.

If a progressive parse loop exits before the end of the document is reached, the parser has no way of knowing this. So it will leave open any files or sockets or memory buffers that were in use at the time that the parse loop exited.

The next parse operation will cause these open files and such to be closed, but the next parse operation might occur at some unknown future point. To avoid this problem, you should reset the parser if you exit the loop early.

If you exited because of an error, then this cleanup will be done for you. Its only when you exit the file prematurely of your own accord, because you've found what you wanted in the file most likely.

Parameters

  token | A token maintaing state information to maintain internal consistency between invocation of 'parseNext' calls.

## setExitOnFirstFatalError()

void SAXParser::setExitOnFirstFatalError | ( | const bool | newState | ) |

This method allows users to set the parser's behaviour when it encounters the first fatal error.

If set to true, the parser will exit at the first fatal error. If false, then it will report the error and continue processing.

The default value is 'true' and the parser exits on the first fatal error.

Parameters

  newState | The value specifying whether the parser should continue or exit when it encounters the first fatal error.

## setExternalNoNamespaceSchemaLocation() [1/2]

void SAXParser::setExternalNoNamespaceSchemaLocation | ( | const char *const | noNamespaceSchemaLocation | ) |

This method is same as setExternalNoNamespaceSchemaLocation(const XMLCh* const).

It takes native char string as parameter

Parameters

  noNamespaceSchemaLocation | the XML Schema Location with no target namespace

See also
  setExternalNoNamespaceSchemaLocation(const XMLCh* const)

## setExternalNoNamespaceSchemaLocation() [2/2]

void SAXParser::setExternalNoNamespaceSchemaLocation | ( | const XMLCh *const | noNamespaceSchemaLocation | ) |

This method allows the user to specify the no target namespace XML Schema Location externally.

If specified, the instance document's noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute will be effectively ignored.

If this method is called more than once, only the last one takes effect.

The syntax is the same as for the noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute that may occur in an instance document: e.g."file_name.xsd".

Parameters

  noNamespaceSchemaLocation | the XML Schema Location with no target namespace

See also
  getExternalNoNamespaceSchemaLocation

## setExternalSchemaLocation() [1/2]

void SAXParser::setExternalSchemaLocation | ( | const char *const | schemaLocation | ) |

This method is same as setExternalSchemaLocation(const XMLCh* const).

It takes native char string as parameter

Parameters

  schemaLocation | the list of schemas to use

See also
  setExternalSchemaLocation(const XMLCh* const)

## setExternalSchemaLocation() [2/2]

void SAXParser::setExternalSchemaLocation | ( | const XMLCh *const | schemaLocation | ) |

This method allows the user to specify a list of schemas to use.

If the targetNamespace of a schema specified using this method matches the targetNamespace of a schema occurring in the instance document in the schemaLocation attribute, or if the targetNamespace matches the namespace attribute of the "import" element, the schema specified by the user using this method will be used (i.e., the schemaLocation attribute in the instance document or on the "import" element will be effectively ignored).

If this method is called more than once, only the last one takes effect.

The syntax is the same as for schemaLocation attributes in instance documents: e.g, "http://www.example.com file_name.xsd". The user can specify more than one XML Schema in the list.

Parameters

  schemaLocation | the list of schemas to use

See also
  getExternalSchemaLocation

## setGenerateSyntheticAnnotations()

void SAXParser::setGenerateSyntheticAnnotations | ( | const bool | newValue | ) |

set the 'generate synthetic annotations' flag

## setIgnoreCachedDTD()

void SAXParser::setIgnoreCachedDTD | ( | const bool | newValue | ) |

Set the 'ignore cached DTD grammar' flag.

This method gives users the option to ignore a cached DTD grammar, when an XML document contains both an internal and external DTD, and the use cached grammar from parse option is enabled. Currently, we do not allow using cached DTD grammar when an internal subset is present in the document. This option will only affect the behavior of the parser when an internal and external DTD both exist in a document (i.e. no effect if document has no internal subset).

The parser's default state is false

Parameters

  newValue | The state to set

## setInputBufferSize()

void SAXParser::setInputBufferSize | ( | const XMLSize_t | bufferSize | ) |

Set maximum input buffer size.

The parser's default input buffer size is 1 megabyte.

Parameters

  bufferSize | The maximum input buffer size

## setLoadExternalDTD()

void SAXParser::setLoadExternalDTD | ( | const bool | newState | ) |

Set the 'Loading External DTD' flag.

This method allows users to enable or disable the loading of external DTD. When set to false, the parser will ignore any external DTD completely if the validationScheme is set to Val_Never.

The parser's default state is: true.

This flag is ignored if the validationScheme is set to Val_Always or Val_Auto.

Parameters

  newState | The value specifying whether external DTD should be loaded or not.

See also
  getLoadExternalDTD
  setValidationScheme

## setLoadSchema()

void SAXParser::setLoadSchema | ( | const bool | newState | ) |

Set the 'Loading Schema' flag.

This method allows users to enable or disable the loading of schemas. When set to false, the parser not attempt to load schemas beyond querying the grammar pool for them.

The parser's default state is: true.

Parameters

  newState | The value specifying whether schemas should be loaded if they're not found in the grammar pool.

See also
  getLoadSchema
  setDoSchema

## setLowWaterMark()

void SAXParser::setLowWaterMark | ( | XMLSize_t | lwm | ) |

Set the raw buffer low water mark for this parser.

If the number of available bytes in the raw buffer is less than the low water mark the parser will attempt to read more data before continuing parsing. By default the value for this parameter is 100 bytes. You may want to set this parameter to 0 if you would like the parser to parse the available data immediately without potentially blocking while waiting for more date.

Parameters

  lwm | new low water mark

This allows an application to set a SecurityManager on the parser; this object stores information that various components use to limit their consumption of system resources while processing documents.

If this method is called more than once, only the last one takes effect. It may not be reset during a parse.

Parameters

  securityManager | the SecurityManager instance to be used by this parser

See also
  getSecurityManager

## setSkipDTDValidation()

void SAXParser::setSkipDTDValidation | ( | const bool | newValue | ) |

Set the 'skip DTD validation' flag.

This method gives users the option to skip DTD validation only when schema validation is on (i.e. when performing validation, we will ignore the DTD, except for entities, when schema validation is enabled).

NOTE: This option is ignored if schema validation is disabled.

The parser's default state is false

Parameters

  newValue | The state to set

## setStandardUriConformant()

## setValidationConstraintFatal()

void SAXParser::setValidationConstraintFatal | ( | const bool | newState | ) |

This method allows users to set the parser's behaviour when it encounters a validation constraint error.

If set to true, and the the parser will treat validation error as fatal and will exit depends on the state of "getExitOnFirstFatalError". If false, then it will report the error and continue processing.

Note: setting this true does not mean the validation error will be printed with the word "Fatal Error". It is still printed as "Error", but the parser will exit if "setExitOnFirstFatalError" is set to true.

The default value is 'false'.

Parameters

  newState | If true, the parser will exit if "setExitOnFirstFatalError" is set to true.

  getValidationConstraintFatal
  setExitOnFirstFatalError

## setValidationSchemaFullChecking()

void SAXParser::setValidationSchemaFullChecking | ( | const bool | schemaFullChecking | ) |

This method allows the user to turn full Schema constraint checking on/off.

Only takes effect if Schema validation is enabled. If turned off, partial constraint checking is done.

Full schema constraint checking includes those checking that may be time-consuming or memory intensive. Currently, particle unique attribution constraint checking and particle derivation restriction checking are controlled by this option.

The parser's default state is: false.

Parameters

  schemaFullChecking | True to turn on full schema constraint checking.
