org.xml.sax.XMLReader | getParent() Get the parent reader. |
void | setParent(org.xml.sax.XMLReader parent) Set the parent reader. |
public XMLReader getParent()
This method allows the application to query the parent reader (which may be another filter). It is generally a bad idea to perform any operations on the parent reader directly: they should all pass through this filter.
public void setParent(org.xml.sax.XMLReader parent)
This method allows the application to link the filter to a parent reader (which may be another filter). The argument may not be null.
parent
- The parent reader.
An XML filter is like an XML reader, except that it obtains its events from another XML reader rather than a primary source like an XML document or database. Filters can modify a stream of events as they pass on to the final application.
The XMLFilterImpl helper class provides a convenient base for creating SAX2 filters, by passing on all org.xml.sax.EntityResolver EntityResolver, org.xml.sax.DTDHandler DTDHandler, org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler and org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler ErrorHandler events automatically.
