Class SAXOutputter

    java.lang.Object
      org.jdom.output.SAXOutputter

    public class SAXOutputter

extends java.lang.Object

Outputs a JDOM document as a stream of SAX2 events.

Most ContentHandler callbacks are supported. Both `ignorableWhitespace()` and `skippedEntity()` have not been implemented. The ``JDOMLocator`` class returned by ``getLocator()`` exposes the current node being operated upon.

At this time, it is not possible to access notations and unparsed entity references in a DTD from JDOM. Therefore, `DTDHandler` callbacks have not been implemented yet.

The `ErrorHandler` callbacks have not been implemented, since these are supposed to be invoked when the document is parsed and at this point the document exists in memory and is known to have no errors.

  This will set the state of a SAX feature.

  All XMLReaders are required to support setting to true and to false.

  SAXOutputter currently supports the following SAX core features:

  `http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces`
    description: `true` indicates namespace URIs and unprefixed local names for element and attribute names will be available
    access: read/write, but always `true`!
  `http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes`
    description: `true` indicates XML 1.0 names (with prefixes) and attributes (including xmlns* attributes) will be available
    access: read/write
  `http://xml.org/sax/features/validation`
    description: controls whether SAXOutputter is reporting DTD-related events; if `true`, the DocType internal subset will be parsed to fire DTD events
    access: read/write, defaults to `true`

  Parameters:
    `name` - `String` the feature name, which is a fully-qualified URI.
    `value` - `boolean` the requested state of the feature (true or false).
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException` - when SAXOutputter does not recognize the feature name.
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException` - when SAXOutputter recognizes the feature name but cannot set the requested value.

### getFeature

    public boolean getFeature(java.lang.String name)
                       throws org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException,
                              org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException

  This will look up the value of a SAX feature.

  Parameters:
    `name` - `String` the feature name, which is a fully-qualified URI.
  Returns:
    `boolean` the current state of the feature (true or false).
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException` - when SAXOutputter does not recognize the feature name.
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException` - when SAXOutputter recognizes the feature name but determine its value at this time.

### setProperty

    public void setProperty(java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.Object value)
                     throws org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException,
                            org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException

  This will set the value of a SAX property. This method is also the standard mechanism for setting extended handlers.

  SAXOutputter currently supports the following SAX properties:

  `http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler`
    data type: `org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler`
    description: An optional extension handler for lexical events like comments.
    access: read/write
  `http://xml.org/sax/properties/declaration-handler`
    data type: `org.xml.sax.ext.DeclHandler`
    description: An optional extension handler for DTD-related events other than notations and unparsed entities.
    access: read/write

  Parameters:
    `name` - `String` the property name, which is a fully-qualified URI.
    `value` - `Object` the requested value for the property.
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException` - when SAXOutputter does not recognize the property name.
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException` - when SAXOutputter recognizes the property name but cannot set the requested value.

### getProperty

    public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String name)

                                        org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException

  This will look up the value of a SAX property.

  Parameters:
    `name` - `String` the property name, which is a fully-qualified URI.
  Returns:
    `Object` the current value of the property.
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException` - when SAXOutputter does not recognize the property name.
    `org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException` - when SAXOutputter recognizes the property name but cannot determine its value at this time.

### output

    public void output(Document document)
                throws JDOMException

  This will output the `JDOM Document`, firing off the SAX events that have been registered.

  Parameters:
    `document` - `JDOM Document` to output.
  Throws:
    `JDOMException` - if any error occurred.

### output

    public void output(java.util.List nodes)
                throws JDOMException

  This will output a list of JDOM nodes as a document, firing off the SAX events that have been registered.

  Warning: This method may output ill-formed XML documents if the list contains top-level objects that are not legal at the document level (e.g. Text or CDATA nodes, multiple Element nodes, etc.). Thus, it should only be used to output document portions towards ContentHandlers capable of accepting such ill-formed documents (such as XSLT processors).

  Parameters:
    `nodes` - `List` of JDOM nodes to output.
  Throws:
    `JDOMException` - if any error occurred.
  See Also:
    `output(org.jdom.Document)`

### output

    public void output(Element node)
                throws JDOMException

  This will output a single JDOM element as a document, firing off the SAX events that have been registered.

  Parameters:
    `node` - the `Element` node to output.
  Throws:
    `JDOMException` - if any error occurred.

### outputFragment

    public void outputFragment(java.util.List nodes)
                        throws JDOMException

  This will output a list of JDOM nodes as a fragment of an XML document, firing off the SAX events that have been registered.

  Warning: This method does not call the `ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator(org.xml.sax.Locator)`, `ContentHandler.startDocument()` and `ContentHandler.endDocument()` callbacks on the `ContentHandler`. The user shall invoke these methods directly prior/after outputting the document fragments.

  Parameters:
    `nodes` - `List` of JDOM nodes to output.
  Throws:
    `JDOMException` - if any error occurred.
  See Also:
    `outputFragment(org.jdom.Content)`

### outputFragment

    public void outputFragment(Content node)
                        throws JDOMException

  This will output a single JDOM nodes as a fragment of an XML document, firing off the SAX events that have been registered.

  Warning: This method does not call the `ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator(org.xml.sax.Locator)`, `ContentHandler.startDocument()` and `ContentHandler.endDocument()` callbacks on the `ContentHandler`. The user shall invoke these methods directly prior/after outputting the document fragments.

  Parameters:
    `node` - the `Content` node to output.
  Throws:
    `JDOMException` - if any error occurred.
  See Also:
    `outputFragment(java.util.List)`

### createParser

    protected org.xml.sax.XMLReader createParser()
                                          throws java.lang.Exception

  Creates a SAX XMLReader.

  Returns:
    `XMLReader` a SAX2 parser.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if no parser can be created.

### getLocator

    public JDOMLocator getLocator()

  Returns a JDOMLocator object referencing the node currently being processed by this outputter. The returned object is a snapshot of the location information and can thus safely be memorized for later use.

  This method allows direct access to the location information maintained by SAXOutputter without requiring to implement `XMLFilter`. (In SAX, locators are only available though the `ContentHandler` interface).

  Note that location information is only available while SAXOutputter is outputting nodes. Hence this method should only be used by objects taking part in the output processing such as `ErrorHandler`s.

  Returns:
    a JDOMLocator object referencing the node currently being processed or `null` if no output operation is being performed.
