public class LocationFilter

locationStack

returnAsAttribute

LocationFilter()

zero-argument constructor

LocationFilter(Parser)

one-argument constructor

endElement(String)

getLocation()

The getLocation() method returns the Stack currently in use, identifying the location of the current element.

getLocationAsXPtr()

The getLocationAsXPtr() method returns the location of the current element as an XPointer, suitable for use in XLink applications, such as XLinkFilter.

setReturnAttribute(boolean)

The setReturnAttribute tells the LocationFilter whether to include Location info as an attribute.

startElement(String, AttributeList)

The startElement method provides most of the functionality of Location Filter, building a stack to keep track of where in the hierarchy the current element is.

toString()

 protected Stack locationStack

 protected boolean returnAsAttribute

 public LocationFilter() throws IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException, ClassNotFoundException

zero-argument constructor

 public LocationFilter(Parser parser)

one-argument constructor

Parameters:

parser - - the SAX parser to be used underneath the filter.

 public void setReturnAttribute(boolean returnAttribute)

The setReturnAttribute tells the LocationFilter whether to include Location info as an attribute. This is not currently implemented.

 public Stack getLocation()

The getLocation() method returns the Stack currently in use, identifying the location of the current element. This direct access provides applications with a ready means of addressing this element through a DOM tree. For the most part, getLocationAsXPtr is more useful with XLinkFilter, but I left this access here so that people who need to identify element locations for other purposes can do so.

 public String getLocationAsXPtr()

The getLocationAsXPtr() method returns the location of the current element as an XPointer, suitable for use in XLink applications, such as XLinkFilter.

 public void startElement(String element,
                          AttributeList atts) throws SAXException

The startElement method provides most of the functionality of Location Filter, building a stack to keep track of where in the hierarchy the current element is.
