Constructor Detail

XmlWriter

public XmlWriter(Writer writer)

Creates a new XML writer for the specified character stream. By default, four spaces are used for indentation.

Parameters:

writer - the character stream.

XmlWriter

public XmlWriter(Writer writer,
         TagDescription tagDescription)

Default Constructor. The created XMLWriterSupport will not have no safe tags and starts with an indention level of 0.

Parameters:

writer - the character stream.

tagDescription - the tags that are safe for line breaks.

XmlWriter

public XmlWriter(Writer writer,
         String indentString)

Creates a new XML writer for the specified character stream.

Parameters:

writer - the character stream.

indentString - the string used for indentation (should contain white space, for example four spaces).

XmlWriter

public XmlWriter(Writer writer,
         TagDescription tagDescription,
         String indentString)

Creates a new XMLWriter instance.

Parameters:

writer - the character stream.

tagDescription - the tags that are safe for line breaks.

indentString - the indent string.

XmlWriter

public XmlWriter(Writer writer,
         TagDescription tagDescription,
         String indentString,
         String lineSeparator)

Creates a new XMLWriter instance.

Parameters:

writer - the character stream.

tagDescription - the tags that are safe for line breaks.

indentString - the indent string.

lineSeparator - the line separator to be used.

Method Detail

writeXmlDeclaration

public void writeXmlDeclaration(String encoding)
                         throws IOException

Writes the XML declaration that usually appears at the top of every XML file.

Parameters:

encoding - the encoding that should be declared (this has to match the encoding of the writer, or funny things may happen when parsing the xml file later).

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem writing to the character stream.

writeTag

public void writeTag(String namespace,
            String name,
            boolean close)
              throws IOException

Writes an opening XML tag that has no attributes.

Parameters:

namespace - the namespace URI for the element

name - the tag name.

close - a flag that controls whether or not the tag is closed immediately.

Throws:

IOException - if there is an I/O problem.

writeCloseTag

public void writeCloseTag()
                   throws IOException

Writes a closing XML tag.

Throws:

IOException - if there is an I/O problem.

writeTag

public void writeTag(String namespace,
            String name,
            String attributeName,
            String attributeValue,
            boolean close)
              throws IOException

Writes an opening XML tag with an attribute/value pair.

Parameters:

namespace - the namespace URI for the element

name - the tag name.

attributeName - the attribute name.

attributeValue - the attribute value.

close - controls whether the tag is closed.

Throws:

IOException - if there is an I/O problem.

writeTag

public void writeTag(String namespace,
            String name,
            AttributeList attributes,
            boolean close)
              throws IOException

Writes an opening XML tag along with a list of attribute/value pairs.

Parameters:

namespace - the namespace URI for the element

name - the tag name.

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occured.

writeStream

public void writeStream(Reader reader)

reader - the reader providing the text.

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem writing to the character stream.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException
