Class XmlPositionCorrectionHandler

java.lang.Object
  org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler
      gate.xml.XmlPositionCorrectionHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

XmlDocumentHandler

public class XmlPositionCorrectionHandler
extends DefaultHandler

This class correct a Xerces parser bug in reported position in file during the parsing process. Xerces parser cut processed file to 16K peaces. If the parser cross the 16K border reported in the characters() position is zerro. This bug could be covered if you extend this content handler instead of org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler. The real content handler should call methods startDocument() and characters() in order to compute correct position in file. The corrected position could be received throug protected data member m_realOffset or with getRealOffset().

Field Summary

protected long

m_realOffset Variables for correction of 16K parser limit for offset

Constructor Summary

XmlPositionCorrectionHandler()

Method Summary

void	characters(char[] text, int offset, int len) Here is the correction of the Xerces parser bug.
long	getRealOffset() Return corrected offset for last characters() call
void	startDocument() Initialization of variables on start of document parsing
