ch:char[]

The characters.

start:int

The start position in the character array.

length:int

The number of characters to use from the character array.

This callback will be used for comments inside or outside the document element, including comments in the external DTD subset (if read). Comments in the DTD must be properly nested inside start/endDTD and start/endEntity events (if used).

Parameters

ch:char[]

An array holding the characters in the comment.

start:int

The starting position in the array.

length:int

The number of characters to use from the array.

Implements org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler.startCDATA.

@Override

Overrides org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler.startDocument.

Implements org.xml.sax.ContentHandler.startDocument.

Doc from org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler.startDocument.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides org.xml.sax.ext.DefaultHandler2.startDTD.

Implements org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler.startDTD.

Doc from org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler.startDTD.

Report the start of DTD declarations, if any.

This method is intended to report the beginning of the DOCTYPE declaration; if the document has no DOCTYPE declaration, this method will not be invoked.

All declarations reported through DTDHandler or DeclHandler events must appear between the startDTD and endDTD events. Declarations are assumed to belong to the internal DTD subset unless they appear between startEntity and endEntity events. Comments and processing instructions from the DTD should also be reported between the startDTD and endDTD events, in their original order of (logical) occurrence; they are not required to appear in their correct locations relative to DTDHandler or DeclHandler events, however.

Note that the start/endDTD events will appear within the start/endDocument events from ContentHandler and before the first startElement event.

Parameters

name:String

The document type name.

publicId:String

The declared public identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared.

systemId:String

The declared system identifier for the external DTD subset, or null if none was declared. (Note that this is not resolved against the document base URI.)

Annotations

@Override

Overrides org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler.startElement.

Implements org.xml.sax.ContentHandler.startElement.

Doc from org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler.startElement.

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

nsUri:String

The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.

localName:String

The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.

qName:String

The qualified name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.

attrs:Attributes

The attributes attached to the element. If there are no attributes, it shall be an empty Attributes object.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides org.xml.sax.ext.DefaultHandler2.startEntity.

Implements org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler.startEntity.

Doc from org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler.startEntity.

Report the beginning of some internal and external XML entities.

The reporting of parameter entities (including the external DTD subset) is optional, and SAX2 drivers that report LexicalHandler events may not implement it; you can use the http://xml.org/sax/features/lexical-handler/parameter-entities feature to query or control the reporting of parameter entities.

General entities are reported with their regular names, parameter entities have '%' prepended to their names, and the external DTD subset has the pseudo-entity name "[dtd]".

When a SAX2 driver is providing these events, all other events must be properly nested within start/end entity events. There is no additional requirement that events from DeclHandler or DTDHandler be properly ordered.

Note that skipped entities will be reported through the skippedEntity event, which is part of the ContentHandler interface.

Because of the streaming event model that SAX uses, some entity boundaries cannot be reported under any circumstances:

• general entities within attribute values
• parameter entities within declarations

These will be silently expanded, with no indication of where the original entity boundaries were.

Note also that the boundaries of character references (which are not really entities anyway) are not reported.

All start/endEntity events must be properly nested.

Parameters

name:String

The name of the entity. If it is a parameter entity, the name will begin with '%', and if it is the external DTD subset, it will be "[dtd]".

Overrides org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler.warning.
