## Detailed Description

Default base class for handlers.

This class implements the default behaviour for four SAX interfaces: EntityResolver, DTDHandler, DocumentHandler, and ErrorHandler.

Application writers can extend this class when they need to implement only part of an interface; parser writers can instantiate this class to provide default handlers when the application has not supplied its own.

Note that the use of this class is optional.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ characters()

void HandlerBase::characters | ( | const XMLCh *const | chars,
|  | const XMLSize_t | length )
| virtual

Receive notification of character data inside an element.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method to take specific actions for each chunk of character data (such as adding the data to a node or buffer, or printing it to a file).

Parameters

  chars | The characters.
  length | The number of characters to use from the character array.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  DocumentHandler::characters

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ endDocument()

void HandlerBase::endDocument | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Receive notification of the end of the document.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the beginning of a document (such as finalising a tree or closing an output file).

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  DocumentHandler::endDocument

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ endElement()

void HandlerBase::endElement | ( | const XMLCh *const | name | ) |
| virtual

Receive notification of the end of an element.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the end of each element (such as finalising a tree node or writing output to a file).

Parameters

  name | The element type name.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  DocumentHandler::endElement

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ error()

void HandlerBase::error | ( | const SAXParseException & | exc | ) |
| virtual

Receive notification of a recoverable parser error.

The default implementation does nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions for each error, such as inserting the message in a log file or printing it to the console.

Parameters

  exc | The warning information encoded as an exception.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  ErrorHandler::warning
  SAXParseException::SAXParseException

Implements ErrorHandler.

## ◆ fatalError()

void HandlerBase::fatalError | ( | const SAXParseException & | exc | ) |
| virtual

Report a fatal XML parsing error.

The default implementation throws a SAXParseException. Application writers may override this method in a subclass if they need to take specific actions for each fatal error (such as collecting all of the errors into a single report): in any case, the application must stop all regular processing when this method is invoked, since the document is no longer reliable, and the parser may no longer report parsing events.

Parameters

  exc | The error information encoded as an exception.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  ErrorHandler::fatalError
  SAXParseException::SAXParseException

Implements ErrorHandler.

## ◆ ignorableWhitespace()

void HandlerBase::ignorableWhitespace | ( | const XMLCh *const | chars,
|  | const XMLSize_t | length )
| virtual

Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method to take specific actions for each chunk of ignorable whitespace (such as adding data to a node or buffer, or printing it to a file).

Parameters

  chars | The whitespace characters.
  length | The number of characters to use from the character array.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  DocumentHandler::ignorableWhitespace

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ notationDecl()

void HandlerBase::notationDecl | ( | const XMLCh *const | name,
|  | const XMLCh *const | publicId,
|  | const XMLCh *const | systemId )
| virtual

Receive notification of a notation declaration.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass if they wish to keep track of the notations declared in a document.

Parameters

  name | The notation name.
  publicId | The notation public identifier, or null if not available.
  systemId | The notation system identifier.

See also
  DTDHandler::notationDecl

Implements DTDHandler.

## ◆ processingInstruction()

void HandlerBase::processingInstruction | ( | const XMLCh *const | target,
|  | const XMLCh *const | data )
| virtual

Receive notification of a processing instruction.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions for each processing instruction, such as setting status variables or invoking other methods.

Parameters

  target | The processing instruction target.
  data | The processing instruction data, or null if none is supplied.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  DocumentHandler::processingInstruction

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ resetDocType()

void HandlerBase::resetDocType | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Reset the DTD object on its reuse.

See also
  DTDHandler::resetDocType

Implements DTDHandler.

## ◆ resetDocument()

void HandlerBase::resetDocument | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Reset the Document object on its reuse.

See also
  DocumentHandler::resetDocument

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ resetErrors()

void HandlerBase::resetErrors | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

See also
  ErrorHandler::resetErrors

Implements ErrorHandler.

## ◆ resolveEntity()

InputSource * HandlerBase::resolveEntity | ( | const XMLCh *const | publicId,
|  | const XMLCh *const | systemId )
| virtual

Resolve an external entity.

Always return null, so that the parser will use the system identifier provided in the XML document. This method implements the SAX default behaviour: application writers can override it in a subclass to do special translations such as catalog lookups or URI redirection.

Parameters

  publicId | The public identifier, or null if none is available.
  systemId | The system identifier provided in the XML document.

Returns
  The new input source, or null to require the default behaviour. The returned InputSource is owned by the parser which is responsible to clean up the memory.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  EntityResolver::resolveEntity

Implements EntityResolver.

## ◆ setDocumentLocator()

void HandlerBase::setDocumentLocator | ( | const Locator *const | locator | ) |
| virtual

Receive a Locator object for document events.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass if they wish to store the locator for use with other document events.

Parameters

  locator | A locator for all SAX document events.

  DocumentHandler::setDocumentLocator
  Locator

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ startDocument()

void HandlerBase::startDocument | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Receive notification of the beginning of the document.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the beginning of a document (such as allocating the root node of a tree or creating an output file).

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

  DocumentHandler::startDocument

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ startElement()

void HandlerBase::startElement | ( | const XMLCh *const | name,
|  | AttributeList & | attributes )

Receive notification of the start of an element.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the start of each element (such as allocating a new tree node or writing output to a file).

Parameters

  name | The element type name.
  attributes | The specified or defaulted attributes.

Exceptions

  SAXException | Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See also
  DocumentHandler::startElement

Implements DocumentHandler.

## ◆ unparsedEntityDecl()

void HandlerBase::unparsedEntityDecl | ( | const XMLCh *const | name,
|  | const XMLCh *const | publicId,
|  | const XMLCh *const | systemId,
|  | const XMLCh *const | notationName )
| virtual

Receive notification of an unparsed entity declaration.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to keep track of the unparsed entities declared in a document.

Parameters

  name | The entity name.
