Detailed Description

Default base class for handlers.

This class implements the default behaviour for four SAX interfaces: EntityResolver, DTDHandler, DocumentHandler, and ErrorHandler.

Application writers can extend this class when they need to implement only part of an interface; parser writers can instantiate this class to provide default handlers when the application has not supplied its own.

Note that the use of this class is optional.

Member Function Documentation

◆ characters()

void HandlerBase::characters ( const XMLCh *const chars,
const XMLSize_t length )
virtual

Receive notification of character data inside an element.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method to take specific actions for each chunk of character data (such as adding the data to a node or buffer, or printing it to a file).

Parameters
charsThe characters.
lengthThe number of characters to use from the character array.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
DocumentHandler::characters

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ endDocument()

void HandlerBase::endDocument ( )
virtual

Receive notification of the end of the document.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the beginning of a document (such as finalising a tree or closing an output file).

Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
DocumentHandler::endDocument

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ endElement()

void HandlerBase::endElement ( const XMLCh *const name)
virtual

Receive notification of the end of an element.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the end of each element (such as finalising a tree node or writing output to a file).

Parameters
nameThe element type name.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
DocumentHandler::endElement

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ error()

void HandlerBase::error ( const SAXParseException & exc)
virtual

Receive notification of a recoverable parser error.

The default implementation does nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions for each error, such as inserting the message in a log file or printing it to the console.

Parameters
excThe warning information encoded as an exception.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
ErrorHandler::warning
SAXParseException::SAXParseException

Implements ErrorHandler.

◆ fatalError()

void HandlerBase::fatalError ( const SAXParseException & exc)
virtual

Report a fatal XML parsing error.

The default implementation throws a SAXParseException. Application writers may override this method in a subclass if they need to take specific actions for each fatal error (such as collecting all of the errors into a single report): in any case, the application must stop all regular processing when this method is invoked, since the document is no longer reliable, and the parser may no longer report parsing events.

Parameters
excThe error information encoded as an exception.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
ErrorHandler::fatalError
SAXParseException::SAXParseException

Implements ErrorHandler.

◆ ignorableWhitespace()

void HandlerBase::ignorableWhitespace ( const XMLCh *const chars,
const XMLSize_t length )
virtual

Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method to take specific actions for each chunk of ignorable whitespace (such as adding data to a node or buffer, or printing it to a file).

Parameters
charsThe whitespace characters.
lengthThe number of characters to use from the character array.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
DocumentHandler::ignorableWhitespace

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ notationDecl()

void HandlerBase::notationDecl ( const XMLCh *const name,
const XMLCh *const publicId,
const XMLCh *const systemId )
virtual

Receive notification of a notation declaration.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass if they wish to keep track of the notations declared in a document.

Parameters
nameThe notation name.
publicIdThe notation public identifier, or null if not available.
systemIdThe notation system identifier.
See also
DTDHandler::notationDecl

Implements DTDHandler.

◆ processingInstruction()

void HandlerBase::processingInstruction ( const XMLCh *const target,
const XMLCh *const data )
virtual

Receive notification of a processing instruction.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions for each processing instruction, such as setting status variables or invoking other methods.

Parameters
targetThe processing instruction target.
dataThe processing instruction data, or null if none is supplied.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
DocumentHandler::processingInstruction

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ resetDocType()

void HandlerBase::resetDocType ( )
virtual

Reset the DTD object on its reuse.

See also
DTDHandler::resetDocType

Implements DTDHandler.

◆ resetDocument()

void HandlerBase::resetDocument ( )
virtual

Reset the Document object on its reuse.

See also
DocumentHandler::resetDocument

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ resetErrors()

void HandlerBase::resetErrors ( )
virtual

Reset the Error handler object on its reuse.

See also
ErrorHandler::resetErrors

Implements ErrorHandler.

◆ resolveEntity()

InputSource * HandlerBase::resolveEntity ( const XMLCh *const publicId,
const XMLCh *const systemId )
virtual

Resolve an external entity.

Always return null, so that the parser will use the system identifier provided in the XML document. This method implements the SAX default behaviour: application writers can override it in a subclass to do special translations such as catalog lookups or URI redirection.

Parameters
publicIdThe public identifier, or null if none is available.
systemIdThe system identifier provided in the XML document.
Returns
The new input source, or null to require the default behaviour. The returned InputSource is owned by the parser which is responsible to clean up the memory.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
EntityResolver::resolveEntity

Implements EntityResolver.

◆ setDocumentLocator()

void HandlerBase::setDocumentLocator ( const Locator *const locator)
virtual

Receive a Locator object for document events.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass if they wish to store the locator for use with other document events.

Parameters
locatorA locator for all SAX document events.
See also
DocumentHandler::setDocumentLocator
Locator

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ startDocument()

void HandlerBase::startDocument ( )
virtual

Receive notification of the beginning of the document.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the beginning of a document (such as allocating the root node of a tree or creating an output file).

Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
DocumentHandler::startDocument

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ startElement()

void HandlerBase::startElement ( const XMLCh *const name,
AttributeList & attributes )
virtual

Receive notification of the start of an element.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the start of each element (such as allocating a new tree node or writing output to a file).

Parameters
nameThe element type name.
attributesThe specified or defaulted attributes.
Exceptions
SAXExceptionAny SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
See also
DocumentHandler::startElement

Implements DocumentHandler.

◆ unparsedEntityDecl()

void HandlerBase::unparsedEntityDecl ( const XMLCh *const name,
const XMLCh *const publicId,
const XMLCh *const systemId,
const XMLCh *const notationName )
virtual

Receive notification of an unparsed entity declaration.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to keep track of the unparsed entities declared in a document.

Parameters
nameThe entity name.
publicIdThe entity public identifier, or null if not available.
systemIdThe entity system identifier.
notationNameThe name of the associated notation.
See also
DTDHandler::unparsedEntityDecl

Implements DTDHandler.

◆ warning()

void HandlerBase::warning ( const SAXParseException & exc)
virtual

Receive notification of a parser warning.

The default implementation does nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions for each warning, such as inserting the message in a log file or printing it to the console.
