Detailed Description

A helper class for implementing cascadable XML Document Handler.

This class is available as a convenience base class for writing cascadable XML Document DefaultHandler. This class implement the basic functionality for DocHandlers that can be cascaded together to handling nested XML tags. Users can write specific handlers to handle specific XML elements so they can be composed together to handle complex XML definitions. This class utilize the "Interpreter" design pattern as described in GoF.

Application writers should extend this class to implement a handler that interpret a specific XML element. There are just a few rules to use the Cascadable_DocHandler.

1. A Cascadable_DocHandler determines whether a new Cascadable_DocHandler should be used to handle a subelement in its startElement method. When it encounter a subelement that requires a different implementation of Cascadable_DocHandler, it should create the new Cascadable_DocHandler, and then invoke the push_handler method to inform the parser to use the new handler (this in effect switches all four handlers the parse uses to the new handler.)

2. A Cascadable_DocHandler determines whether it has done handling an element structure in endElement method, it invoke the pop_handler method of its parent handler. The pop_handler in turn invokes the endElement eventhandler of the parent handler so it has a chance to harvest the parse result from the child handler.

See the Handler-Interaction.png for how handlers interact with each other.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::Cascadable_DocHandler (  ACEXML_XMLReader *    parser, Cascadable_DocHandler *    parent, const ACEXML_Char *    namespaceURI, const ACEXML_Char *    localName, const ACEXML_Char *    qName, ACEXML_Attributes *atts    ACEXML_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (ACEXML_SAXException)

Constructor.

CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::~Cascadable_DocHandler (  void    )  [virtual]

destructor.

CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::Cascadable_DocHandler (    )  [private]

No implement.

Member Function Documentation

void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::destroy (    )  [virtual]

Destroy method.

virtual void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::error (  ACEXML_SAXParseException &exception    ACEXML_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (ACEXML_SAXException) [virtual]

Receive notification of a recoverable error. Reimplemented in Svcconf_Handler.

virtual void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::fatalError (  ACEXML_SAXParseException &exception    ACEXML_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (ACEXML_SAXException) [virtual]

Receive notification of a non-recoverable error. Reimplemented in Svcconf_Handler.

ACE_INLINE const ACEXML_Char * CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::localName (  void    )  const

ACE_INLINE const ACEXML_Char * CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::namespaceURI (  void    )  const

Accessors for the element Context we are in. Make copy if you need to store the return strings for later use.

void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::pop_handler (  const ACEXML_Char *    namespaceURI, const ACEXML_Char *    localName, const ACEXML_Char *qName    ACEXML_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (ACEXML_SAXException)

This function should be called at the end of endElement method of this Handler to restore the Handler's used by the parser. This method aldo invokes the endElement method of the parent Handler before restoring the parser Handlers. This allows the parent handler to have a chance to harvest the parse result from this Handler. pop_handler will eventually invoke the destroy method of child handler. Since pop_handler should be invoked from child handler's endElement method, care should be taken to avoid accessing free'ed memory after calling parent's pop_handler method.

virtual void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::print_warning (  const ACEXML_Char *    level, ACEXML_SAXParseException &exception    ACEXML_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (ACEXML_SAXException) [protected, virtual]

Print out an error/warning message

void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::push_handler (  Cascadable_DocHandler *    new_handler, ACEXML_Attributes *atts    ACEXML_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (ACEXML_SAXException)

THIS function should be called by the startElement method of the parent Handler to replace it (the current *Handlers) the parser is using with the this Handler. This method will also invoke the startElement operations of this Handler. @ I haven't figured out what should happen if an exception occurs in push_handler. It can either restore the original handler, or let the user decide what to do.

ACE_INLINE const ACEXML_Char * CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::qName (  void    )  const

ACE_INLINE void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::setDocumentLocator (  ACEXML_Locator *    locator )  [virtual]

Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events. Reimplemented in Svcconf_Handler.

virtual void CIAO::XMLHelpers::Cascadable_DocHandler::warning (  ACEXML_SAXParseException &exception    ACEXML_ENV_ARG_DECL )  throw (ACEXML_SAXException) [virtual]

Receive notification of a warning. Reimplemented in Svcconf_Handler.
