Interface XMLSerializer

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    MSVValidator, SAXMarshaller

    public interface XMLSerializer
    Receives XML serialization event

    This object coordinates the overall marshalling efforts across different content-tree objects and different target formats.

    The following CFG gives the proper sequence of method invocation.

     MARSHALLING  :=  ELEMENT
     ELEMENT      :=  "startElement" NSDECL* "endNamespaceDecls"
                            ATTRIBUTE* "endAttributes" BODY "endElement"
     
     NSDECL       :=  "declareNamespace"
     
     ATTRIBUTE    :=  "startAttribute" ATTVALUES "endAttribute"
     ATTVALUES    :=  "text"*
     
     
     BODY         :=  ( "text" | ELEMENT )*
     

    A marshalling of one element consists of two stages. The first stage is for marshalling attributes and collecting namespace declarations. The second stage is for marshalling characters/child elements of that element.

    Observe that multiple invocation of "text" is allowed.

    Also observe that the namespace declarations are allowed only between "startElement" and "endAttributes".

      • reportError

        void reportError​(ValidationEvent e)
                  throws com.sun.xml.bind.serializer.AbortSerializationException
        Errors detected by the XMLSerializable should be either thrown as SAXException or reported through this method. The callee should report an error to the client application and
        Throws:
        com.sun.xml.bind.serializer.AbortSerializationException
      • startElement

        void startElement​(String uri,
                          String local)
                   throws SAXException
        Starts marshalling of an element. Calling this method will push the internal state into the internal stack.
        Throws:
        SAXException
      • endNamespaceDecls

        void endNamespaceDecls()
                        throws SAXException
        Switches to the mode to marshal attribute values. This method has to be called after the 1st pass is completed.
        Throws:
        SAXException
      • endAttributes

        void endAttributes()
                    throws SAXException
        Switches to the mode to marshal child texts/elements. This method has to be called after the 2nd pass is completed.
        Throws:
        SAXException
      • endElement

        void endElement()
                 throws SAXException
        Ends marshalling of an element. Pops the internal stack.
        Throws:
        SAXException
      • text

        void text​(String text,
                  String fieldName)
           throws SAXException
        Marshalls text.

        This method can be called (i) after the startAttribute method and (ii) before the endAttribute method, to marshal attribute values. If the method is called more than once, those texts are considered as separated by whitespaces. For example,

         c.startAttribute();
         c.text("abc");
         c.text("def");
         c.endAttribute("","foo");
         
        will generate foo="abc def".

        Similarly, this method can be called after the endAttributes method to marshal texts inside elements. The same rule about multiple invokations apply to this case, too. For example,

         c.startElement("","foo");
         c.endNamespaceDecls();
         c.endAttributes();
         c.text("abc");
         c.text("def");
           c.startElement("","bar");
           c.endAttributes();
           c.endElement();
         c.text("ghi");
         c.endElement();
         
        will generate <foo>abc def<bar/>ghi</foo>.
        Throws:
        SAXException
      • startAttribute

        void startAttribute​(String uri,
                            String local)
                     throws SAXException
        Starts marshalling of an attribute. The marshalling of an attribute will be done by
        1. call the startAttribute method
        2. call the text method (several times if necessary)
        3. call the endAttribute method
        No two attributes can be marshalled at the same time. Note that the whole attribute marshalling must be happened after the startElement method and before the endAttributes method.
        Throws:
        SAXException
      • getNamespaceContext

        NamespaceContext2 getNamespaceContext()
        Obtains a namespace context object, which is used to declare/obtain namespace bindings.
      • onID

        String onID​(com.sun.xml.bind.marshaller.IdentifiableObject owner,
                    String value)
             throws SAXException
        Notifies the serializer that an ID value has just marshalled. The serializer may or may not check the consistency of ID/IDREFs and may throw a SAXException.
        Parameters:
        owner - JAXB content object that posesses the ID.
        value - The value of the ID.
        Returns:
        Return the value parameter without any modification, so that the invocation of this method can be done transparently by a transducer.
        Throws:
        SAXException
