Class ProjectHelper2.AntHandler

public static class ProjectHelper2.AntHandler extends Object

The common superclass for all SAX event handlers used to parse the configuration file. The context will hold all state information. At each time there is one active handler for the current element. It can use onStartChild() to set an alternate handler for the child.
Method Summary
voidcharacters(char[] buf, int start, int count, AntXMLContext context)
Handles text within an element.
protected voidcheckNamespace(String uri)
Will be called every time a namespace is reached.
voidonEndChild(String uri, String tag, String qname, AntXMLContext context)
Handle the end of a element.
voidonEndElement(String uri, String tag, AntXMLContext context)
This method is called when this element and all elements nested into it have been handled.
ProjectHelper2.AntHandleronStartChild(String uri, String tag, String qname, Attributes attrs, AntXMLContext context)
Handles the start of an element.
voidonStartElement(String uri, String tag, String qname, Attributes attrs, AntXMLContext context)
Handles the start of an element.

Method Detail

characters

public void characters(char[] buf, int start, int count, AntXMLContext context)
Handles text within an element. This base implementation just throws an exception, you must override it if you expect content.

Parameters: buf A character array of the text within the element. Will not be null. start The start element in the array. count The number of characters to read from the array. context The current context.

Throws: SAXParseException if this method is not overridden, or in case of error in an overridden version

checkNamespace

protected void checkNamespace(String uri)
Will be called every time a namespace is reached. It'll verify if the ns was processed, and if not load the task definitions.

Parameters: uri The namespace uri.

onEndChild

public void onEndChild(String uri, String tag, String qname, AntXMLContext context)
Handle the end of a element.

Parameters: uri the namespace uri of the element tag the tag of the element qname the qualified name of the element context the current context

Throws: SAXParseException if an error occurs

onEndElement

public void onEndElement(String uri, String tag, AntXMLContext context)
This method is called when this element and all elements nested into it have been handled. I.e., this happens at the </end_tag_of_the_element>.

Parameters: uri the namespace uri for this element tag the element name context the current context

onStartChild

public ProjectHelper2.AntHandler onStartChild(String uri, String tag, String qname, Attributes attrs, AntXMLContext context)
Handles the start of an element. This base implementation just throws an exception - you must override this method if you expect child elements.

Parameters: uri The namespace uri for this element. tag The name of the element being started. Will not be null. qname The qualified name for this element. attrs Attributes of the element being started. Will not be null. context The current context.

Returns: a handler (in the derived classes)

Throws: SAXParseException if this method is not overridden, or in case of error in an overridden version

onStartElement

public void onStartElement(String uri, String tag, String qname, Attributes attrs, AntXMLContext context)
Handles the start of an element. This base implementation does nothing.

Parameters: uri the namespace URI for the tag tag The name of the element being started. Will not be null. qname The qualified name of the element. attrs Attributes of the element being started. Will not be null. context The context that this element is in.

Throws: SAXParseException if this method is not overridden, or in case of error in an overridden version
