Class AttributesImpl

java.lang.Object
- org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:: Attributes

Direct Known Subclasses:: Attributes2Impl

public class AttributesImpl
extends Object
implements Attributes

Default implementation of the Attributes interface.

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 provides a default implementation of the SAX2 Attributes interface, with the addition of manipulators so that the list can be modified or reused.

There are two typical uses of this class:

to take a persistent snapshot of an Attributes object in a startElement event; or
to construct or modify an Attributes object in a SAX2 driver or filter.

This class replaces the now-deprecated SAX1 AttributeListImpl class; in addition to supporting the updated Attributes interface rather than the deprecated AttributeList interface, it also includes a much more efficient implementation using a single array rather than a set of Vectors.

Since:: SAX 2.0

getIndex

public int getIndex(String uri,
                    String localName)

Look up an attribute's index by Namespace name.

In many cases, it will be more efficient to look up the name once and use the index query methods rather than using the name query methods repeatedly.

Specified by:: getIndex in interface Attributes
Parameters:: uri - The attribute's Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available.; localName - The attribute's local name.
Returns:: The attribute's index, or -1 if none matches.
See Also:: Attributes.getIndex(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)

public int getIndex(String qName)

Look up an attribute's index by qualified (prefixed) name.

Specified by:: getIndex in interface Attributes
Parameters:: qName - The qualified name.
Returns:: The attribute's index, or -1 if none matches.
See Also:: Attributes.getIndex(java.lang.String)

getType

public String getType(String uri,
                      String localName)

Look up an attribute's type by Namespace-qualified name.

Specified by:: getType in interface Attributes
Parameters:: uri - The Namespace URI, or the empty string for a name with no explicit Namespace URI.; localName - The local name.
Returns:: The attribute's type, or null if there is no matching attribute.
See Also:: Attributes.getType(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)

Specified by:: getValue in interface Attributes
Parameters:: uri - The Namespace URI, or the empty string for a name with no explicit Namespace URI.; localName - The local name.
Returns:: The attribute's value, or null if there is no matching attribute.
See Also:: Attributes.getValue(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)

getValue

public String getValue(String qName)

Look up an attribute's value by qualified (prefixed) name.

Specified by:: getValue in interface Attributes
Parameters:: qName - The qualified name.
Returns:: The attribute's value, or null if there is no matching attribute.
See Also:: Attributes.getValue(java.lang.String)

clear

public void clear()

Clear the attribute list for reuse.

Note that little memory is freed by this call: the current array is kept so it can be reused.

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(Attributes atts)

Copy an entire Attributes object.

It may be more efficient to reuse an existing object rather than constantly allocating new ones.

Parameters:: atts - The attributes to copy.

addAttribute

public void addAttribute(String uri,
                         String localName,
                         String qName,
                         String type,
                         String value)

Add an attribute to the end of the list.

For the sake of speed, this method does no checking to see if the attribute is already in the list: that is the responsibility of the application.

Parameters:: uri - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available or Namespace processing is not being performed.; localName - The local name, or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.; qName - The qualified (prefixed) name, or the empty string if qualified names are not available.; type - The attribute type as a string.; value - The attribute value.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(int index,
                         String uri,
                         String localName,
                         String qName,
                         String type,
                         String value)

Set an attribute in the list.

For the sake of speed, this method does no checking for name conflicts or well-formedness: such checks are the responsibility of the application.

Parameters:: index - The index of the attribute (zero-based).; uri - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available or Namespace processing is not being performed.; localName - The local name, or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.; qName - The qualified name, or the empty string if qualified names are not available.; type - The attribute type as a string.; value - The attribute value.
