      Throws:
      IOException - if error writing to document
    • writeMarkup

      protected abstract void writeMarkup(char chr) throws IOException

      Parameters:
      chr - markup character to be written
      Throws:
      IOException - if error writing to document

      Throws:
      IOException - if error writing to document
    • writeAttributeText

      IOException - if error writing to document
    • indent

      protected abstract void indent(int bias) throws IOException

      IOException - on error writing to document
    • flagContent

      protected final void flagContent() throws IOException
      Set up for writing any content to element. If the start tag for the element has not been closed, this will close it.
      Throws:
      IOException - on error writing to document

    • init

      public void init()
      Initialize writer.
      Specified by:
      init in interface IXMLWriter
    • writeXMLDecl

      public void writeXMLDecl(String version, String encoding, String standalone) throws IOException
      Write XML declaration to document. This can only be called before any other methods in the interface are called.
      Specified by:
      writeXMLDecl in interface IXMLWriter
      Parameters:

      Throws:
      IOException - on error writing to document
    • startTagOpen

      public void startTagOpen(int index, String name) throws IOException
      Generate open start tag. This allows attributes to be added to the start tag, but must be followed by a closeStartTag() call.
      Specified by:
      startTagOpen in interface IXMLWriter
      Parameters:
      index - namespace URI index number

    • startTagNamespaces

      public void startTagNamespaces(int index, String name, int[] nums, String[] prefs) throws IOException
      Generate start tag for element with namespaces. This creates the actual start tag, along with any necessary namespace declarations. Previously active namespace declarations are not duplicated. The tag is left incomplete, allowing other attributes to be added.
      Specified by:
      startTagNamespaces in interface IXMLWriter
      Parameters:
      index - namespace URI index number
      name - element name
      nums - array of namespace indexes defined by this element (must be constant, reference is kept until end of element)
      prefs - array of namespace prefixes mapped by this element (no null values, use "" for default namespace declaration)
      Throws:
      IOException - on error writing to document
    • addAttribute

      public void addAttribute(int index, String name, String value) throws IOException
      Add attribute to current open start tag. This is only valid after a call to startTagOpen(int, java.lang.String) or startTagNamespaces(int, java.lang.String, int[], java.lang.String[]) and before the corresponding call to closeStartTag().
      Specified by:
      addAttribute in interface IXMLWriter
      Parameters:
      index - namespace URI index number
      name - unqualified attribute name
      value - text value for attribute
      Throws:
      IOException - on error writing to document
    • closeStartTag

      public void closeStartTag() throws IOException
      Close the current open start tag. This is only valid after a call to startTagOpen(int, java.lang.String).
      Specified by:
      closeStartTag in interface IXMLWriter
      Throws:
      IOException - on error writing to document
    • closeEmptyTag

      Close the current open start tag as an empty element. This is only valid after a call to startTagOpen(int, java.lang.String).
      Specified by:
      closeEmptyTag in interface IXMLWriter
      Throws:
      IOException - on error writing to document
    • indentAfterFirst

      private void indentAfterFirst() throws IOException

      Throws:
      IOException - on write error
    • startTagClosed

    • flush

      public abstract void flush() throws IOException
      Flush document output. Subclasses must implement this method to force all buffered output to be written. To assure proper handling of an open start tag they should first call flagContent().

      Throws:
      IOException - on error writing to document
    • close

      public abstract void close() throws IOException

      Overrides:
      reset in class XMLWriterNamespaceBase
