Class InputSource


  • public class InputSource
    extends Object
    A single input source for an XML entity.
    This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

    This class allows a SAX application to encapsulate information about an input source in a single object, which may include a public identifier, a system identifier, a byte stream (possibly with a specified encoding), and/or a character stream.

    There are two places that the application can deliver an input source to the parser: as the argument to the Parser.parse method, or as the return value of the EntityResolver.resolveEntity method.

    The SAX parser will use the InputSource object to determine how to read XML input. If there is a character stream available, the parser will read that stream directly, disregarding any text encoding declaration found in that stream. If there is no character stream, but there is a byte stream, the parser will use that byte stream, using the encoding specified in the InputSource or else (if no encoding is specified) autodetecting the character encoding using an algorithm such as the one in the XML specification. If neither a character stream nor a byte stream is available, the parser will attempt to open a URI connection to the resource identified by the system identifier.

    An InputSource object belongs to the application: the SAX parser shall never modify it in any way (it may modify a copy if necessary). However, standard processing of both byte and character streams is to close them on as part of end-of-parse cleanup, so applications should not attempt to re-use such streams after they have been handed to a parser.

      • setPublicId

        public void setPublicId​(String publicId)
        Set the public identifier for this input source.

        The public identifier is always optional: if the application writer includes one, it will be provided as part of the location information.

        Parameters:
        publicId - The public identifier as a string.
        See Also:
        getPublicId(), Locator.getPublicId(), SAXParseException.getPublicId()
      • getPublicId

        public String getPublicId()
        Get the public identifier for this input source.
        Returns:
        The public identifier, or null if none was supplied.
        See Also:
        setPublicId(java.lang.String)
      • setSystemId

        public void setSystemId​(String systemId)
        Set the system identifier for this input source.

        The system identifier is optional if there is a byte stream or a character stream, but it is still useful to provide one, since the application can use it to resolve relative URIs and can include it in error messages and warnings (the parser will attempt to open a connection to the URI only if there is no byte stream or character stream specified).

        If the application knows the character encoding of the object pointed to by the system identifier, it can register the encoding using the setEncoding method.

        If the system identifier is a URL, it must be fully resolved (it may not be a relative URL).

        Parameters:
        systemId - The system identifier as a string.
        See Also:
        setEncoding(java.lang.String), getSystemId(), Locator.getSystemId(), SAXParseException.getSystemId()
      • getSystemId

        public String getSystemId()
        Get the system identifier for this input source.

        The getEncoding method will return the character encoding of the object pointed to, or null if unknown.

        If the system ID is a URL, it will be fully resolved.

        Returns:
        The system identifier, or null if none was supplied.
        See Also:
        setSystemId(java.lang.String), getEncoding()
      • setByteStream

        public void setByteStream​(InputStream byteStream)
        Set the byte stream for this input source.

        The SAX parser will ignore this if there is also a character stream specified, but it will use a byte stream in preference to opening a URI connection itself.

        If the application knows the character encoding of the byte stream, it should set it with the setEncoding method.

        Parameters:
        byteStream - A byte stream containing an XML document or other entity.
        See Also:
        setEncoding(java.lang.String), getByteStream(), getEncoding(), InputStream
      • getByteStream

        public InputStream getByteStream()
        Get the byte stream for this input source.

        The getEncoding method will return the character encoding for this byte stream, or null if unknown.

        Returns:
        The byte stream, or null if none was supplied.
        See Also:
        getEncoding(), setByteStream(java.io.InputStream)
      • setEncoding

        public void setEncoding​(String encoding)
        Set the character encoding, if known.

        The encoding must be a string acceptable for an XML encoding declaration (see section 4.3.3 of the XML 1.0 recommendation).

        This method has no effect when the application provides a character stream.

        Parameters:
        encoding - A string describing the character encoding.
        See Also:
        setSystemId(java.lang.String), setByteStream(java.io.InputStream), getEncoding()
      • setCharacterStream

        public void setCharacterStream​(Reader characterStream)
        Set the character stream for this input source.

        If there is a character stream specified, the SAX parser will ignore any byte stream and will not attempt to open a URI connection to the system identifier.

        Parameters:
        characterStream - The character stream containing the XML document or other entity.
        See Also:
        getCharacterStream(), Reader
      • getCharacterStream

        public Reader getCharacterStream()
        Get the character stream for this input source.
        Returns:
        The character stream, or null if none was supplied.
        See Also:
        setCharacterStream(java.io.Reader)
      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty()
        Indicates whether the InputSource object is empty. Empty is defined as follows:
        • All of the input sources, including the public identifier, system identifier, byte stream, and character stream, are null.
        • The public identifier and system identifier are null, and byte and character stream are either null or contain no byte or character.

          Note that this method will reset the byte stream if it is provided, or the character stream if the byte stream is not provided.

        In case of error while checking the byte or character stream, the method will return false to allow the XML processor to handle the error.

        Returns:
        true if the InputSource object is empty, false otherwise
