public Class Stax2FilteredStreamReader

Overrides javax.xml.stream.util.StreamReaderDelegate.next.

Implements javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader.next.

Doc from javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader.next.

Get next parsing event - a processor may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or it may split it into several chunks. If the property javax.xml.stream.isCoalescing is set to true element content must be coalesced and only one CHARACTERS event must be returned for contiguous element content or CDATA Sections. By default entity references must be expanded and reported transparently to the application. An exception will be thrown if an entity reference cannot be expanded. If element content is empty (i.e. content is "") then no CHARACTERS event will be reported.

Given the following XML:
<foo><!--description-->content text<![CDATA[<greeting>Hello>/greeting>]]>other content>/foo>
The behavior of calling next() when being on foo will be:
1- the comment (COMMENT)
2- then the characters section (CHARACTERS)
3- then the CDATA section (another CHARACTERS)
4- then the next characters section (another CHARACTERS)
5- then the END_ELEMENT

Returns:int

the integer code corresponding to the current parse event

Overrides javax.xml.stream.util.StreamReaderDelegate.nextTag.

Implements javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader.nextTag.

Doc from javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader.nextTag.

Skips any white space (isWhiteSpace() returns true), COMMENT, or PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, until a START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT is reached. If other than white space characters, COMMENT, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, START_ELEMENT, END_ELEMENT are encountered, an exception is thrown. This method should be used when processing element-only content separated by white space.
Precondition: none
Postcondition: the current event is START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT and cursor may have moved over any whitespace event.
Essentially it does the following (implementations are free to optimized but must do equivalent processing):

 int eventType = next();
while((eventType == XMLStreamConstants.CHARACTERS && isWhiteSpace()) // skip whitespace
|| (eventType == XMLStreamConstants.CDATA && isWhiteSpace())
// skip whitespace
|| eventType == XMLStreamConstants.SPACE
|| eventType == XMLStreamConstants.PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION
|| eventType == XMLStreamConstants.COMMENT
) {
    eventType = next();
}
if (eventType != XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT && eventType != XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT) {
    throw new String XMLStreamException("expected start or end tag", getLocation());
}
return eventType; 

Returns:int

the event type of the element read (START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT)
