Constructor Detail

XStringForChars

public XStringForChars(char[] val,
                       int start,
                       int length)
Construct a XNodeSet object.
Parameters:
val - FastStringBuffer object this will wrap, must be non-null.
start - The start position in the array.
length - The number of characters to read from the array.
Method Detail

fsb

public FastStringBuffer fsb()
Cast result object to a string.
Returns:
The string this wraps or the empty string if null

appendToFsb

public void appendToFsb(FastStringBuffer fsb)
Cast result object to a string.
Returns:
The string this wraps or the empty string if null
Overrides:
appendToFsb in class XObject

hasString

public boolean hasString()
Tell if this object contains a java String object.
Returns:
true if this XMLString can return a string without creating one.
Overrides:
hasString in class XString

str

public java.lang.String str()
Cast result object to a string.
Returns:
The string this wraps or the empty string if null
Overrides:
str in class XString

object

public java.lang.Object object()
Since this object is incomplete without the length and the offset, we have to convert to a string when this function is called.
Returns:
The java String representation of this object.
Overrides:
object in class XObject

dispatchCharactersEvents

public void dispatchCharactersEvents(ContentHandler ch)
                              throws SAXException
Directly call the characters method on the passed ContentHandler for the string-value. Multiple calls to the ContentHandler's characters methods may well occur for a single call to this method.
Parameters:
ch - A non-null reference to a ContentHandler.
Throws:
SAXException -  
Overrides:
dispatchCharactersEvents in class XString

dispatchAsComment

public void dispatchAsComment(LexicalHandler lh)
                       throws SAXException
Directly call the comment method on the passed LexicalHandler for the string-value.
Parameters:
lh - A non-null reference to a LexicalHandler.
Throws:
SAXException -  
Overrides:
dispatchAsComment in class XString

length

public int length()
Returns the length of this string.
Returns:
the length of the sequence of characters represented by this object.
Overrides:
length in class XString

charAt

public char charAt(int index)
Returns the character at the specified index. An index ranges from 0 to length() - 1. The first character of the sequence is at index 0, the next at index 1, and so on, as for array indexing.
Parameters:
index - the index of the character.
Returns:
the character at the specified index of this string. The first character is at index 0.
Throws:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index argument is negative or not less than the length of this string.
Overrides:
charAt in class XString

getChars

public void getChars(int srcBegin,
                     int srcEnd,
                     char[] dst,
                     int dstBegin)
Copies characters from this string into the destination character array.
Parameters:
srcBegin - index of the first character in the string to copy.
srcEnd - index after the last character in the string to copy.
dst - the destination array.
dstBegin - the start offset in the destination array.
Throws:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - If any of the following is true:
  • srcBegin is negative.
  • srcBegin is greater than srcEnd
  • srcEnd is greater than the length of this string
  • dstBegin is negative
  • dstBegin+(srcEnd-srcBegin) is larger than dst.length
java.lang.NullPointerException - if dst is null
Overrides:
getChars in class XString
