There is only one entity scanner and entity manager per parser. The entity manager could implement the methods to perform entity scanning, but the entity scanner class allows a cleaner separation between entity management API and entity scanning.

data to be scanned. delimiter, XMLStringBuffer The data structure to fill. data)Scans a range of character data up to the specicied delimiter, setting the fields of the XMLString structure, appropriately. |
| public abstract int | Returns: Returns the next character on the input, if known. This value may be -1 but this does note designate end of file.The quote character that signifies the end of the
attribute value data. quote, XMLString The content structure to fill. content)Scans a range of attribute value data, setting the fields of the XMLString structure, appropriately. |
| public abstract String | scanName()
Returns a string matching the Name production appearing immediately on the input as a symbol, or null if no Name string is present. |
| public abstract String | scanNmtoken()
Returns a string matching the NMTOKEN production appearing immediately on the input as a symbol, or null if NMTOKEN Name string is present. |
| public abstract boolean | |
| public abstract void | setEncoding(String
The IANA encoding name of the new encoding. encoding)Sets the encoding of the scanner. |
| public abstract void | setVersion(String version)
the version of the current entity being scanned or the version of the entity on which reader is operating |
| public abstract boolean | Returns: Returns true if the character was skipped.The character to skip. c)Skips a character appearing immediately on the input. |
| public abstract boolean | Returns: Returns true if at least one space character was skipped.Skips space characters appearing immediately on the input. |

| XMLEntityReader | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public XMLEntityReader() | |
| getCharacterOffset | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract int getCharacterOffset() Redeclares com. Doc from com. Returns the character offset, or | |
| getEncoding | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract String getEncoding() Redeclares com. Doc from com. Returns the encoding of the current entity. Note that, for a given entity, this value can only be considered final once the encoding declaration has been read (or once it has been determined that there is no such declaration) since, no encoding having been specified on the XMLInputSource, the parser will make an initial "guess" which could be in error. | |
| getVersion | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract String getVersion() get the version of the entity on which reader is operating | |
| isExternal | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract boolean isExternal() Returns true if the current entity being scanned is external. | |
| peekChar | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract int peekChar() throws IOException Returns the next character on the input. Note The character is not consumed.
| |
| registerListener | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract void registerListener(XMLBufferListener listener) | |
| scanChar | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract int scanChar() throws IOException Returns the next character on the input. Note The character is consumed.
| |
| scanContent | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract int scanContent(XMLString content) throws IOException CHANGED: Scans a range of parsed character data, This function appends the character data to the supplied buffer. Note The characters are consumed. Note This method does not guarantee to return the longest run of parsed character data. This method may return before markup due to reaching the end of the input buffer or any other reason.
| |
| scanData | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract boolean scanData(String delimiter, XMLStringBuffer data) throws IOException Scans a range of character data up to the specicied delimiter, setting the fields of the XMLString structure, appropriately. Note The characters are consumed. Note This assumes that the internal buffer is at least the same size, or bigger, than the length of the delimiter and that the delimiter contains at least one character. Note This method does not guarantee to return the longest run of character data. This method may return before the delimiter due to reaching the end of the input buffer or any other reason. Note The fields contained in the XMLString structure are not guaranteed to remain valid upon subsequent calls to the entity scanner. Therefore, the caller is responsible for immediately using the returned character data or making a copy of the character data.
| |
| scanLiteral | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract int scanLiteral(int quote, XMLString content) throws IOException Scans a range of attribute value data, setting the fields of the XMLString structure, appropriately. Note The characters are consumed. Note This method does not guarantee to return the longest run of attribute value data. This method may return before the quote character due to reaching the end of the input buffer or any other reason. Note The fields contained in the XMLString structure are not guaranteed to remain valid upon subsequent calls to the entity scanner. Therefore, the caller is responsible for immediately using the returned character data or making a copy of the character data.
| |
| scanName | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract String scanName() throws IOException Returns a string matching the Name production appearing immediately on the input as a symbol, or null if no Name string is present. Note The Name characters are consumed. Note The string returned must be a symbol. The SymbolTable can be used for this purpose.
| |
| scanNmtoken | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract String scanNmtoken() throws IOException Returns a string matching the NMTOKEN production appearing immediately on the input as a symbol, or null if NMTOKEN Name string is present. Note The NMTOKEN characters are consumed. Note The string returned must be a symbol. The SymbolTable can be used for this purpose.
| |
| scanQName | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract boolean scanQName(QName qname) throws IOException Scans a qualified name from the input, setting the fields of the QName structure appropriately. Note The qualified name characters are consumed. Note The strings used to set the values of the QName structure must be symbols. The SymbolTable can be used for this purpose.
| |
| setEncoding | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract void setEncoding(String encoding) throws IOException Sets the encoding of the scanner. This method is used by the scanners if the XMLDecl or TextDecl line contains an encoding pseudo-attribute. Note The underlying character reader on the current entity will be changed to accommodate the new encoding. However, the new encoding is ignored if the current reader was not constructed from an input stream (e.g. an external entity that is resolved directly to the appropriate java.io.Reader object).
| |
| setVersion | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract void setVersion(String version) the version of the current entity being scanned or the version of the entity on which reader is operating | |
| skipChar | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract boolean skipChar(int c) throws IOException Skips a character appearing immediately on the input. Note The character is consumed only if it matches the specified character.
| |
| skipSpaces | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract boolean skipSpaces() throws IOException Skips space characters appearing immediately on the input. Note The characters are consumed only if they are space characters.
| |
| skipString | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public abstract boolean skipString(String s) throws IOException Skips the specified string appearing immediately on the input. Note The characters are consumed only if they are space characters.
