Class DOM4JObjectModel

Implemented Interfaces:
ExternalObjectModel, Serializable

public class DOM4JObjectModel
extends java.lang.Object
implements ExternalObjectModel, Serializable

This class is the DOM4J implementation of Saxon's ExternalObjectModel interface; it supports the wrapping of DOM4J documents as instances of the Saxon NodeInfo interface.

Method Summary

Value
convertObjectToXPathValue(Object object, Configuration config)
Convert a Java object to an XPath value.

Convert a sequence of values to a NODELIST, as defined in the JAXP XPath API spec.
Object
convertXPathValueToObject(Value value, Class targetClass, XPathContext context)
Convert an XPath value to an object in this object model.
Receiver
getDocumentBuilder(Result result)
Test whether this object model recognizes a particular kind of JAXP Result object, and if it does, return a Receiver that builds an instance of this data model from a sequence of events.
boolean
isRecognizedNode(Object object)
Test whether this object model recognizes a given node as one of its own
boolean
isRecognizedNodeClass(Class nodeClass)
Test whether this object model recognizes a given class as representing a node in that object model.
boolean
isRecognizedNodeListClass(Class nodeClass)
Test whether this object model recognizes a given class as representing a list of nodes in that object model.
boolean
sendSource(Source source, Receiver receiver, PipelineConfiguration pipe)
Test whether this object model recognizes a particular kind of JAXP Source object, and if it does, send the contents of the document to a supplied Receiver, and return true.
NodeInfo
unravel(Source source, Configuration config)
Wrap or unwrap a node using this object model to return the corresponding Saxon node.
DocumentInfo
wrapDocument(Object node, String baseURI, Configuration config)
Wrap a document node in the external object model in a document wrapper that implements the Saxon DocumentInfo interface
NodeInfo
wrapNode(DocumentInfo document, Object node)
Wrap a node within the external object model in a node wrapper that implements the Saxon VirtualNode interface (which is an extension of NodeInfo)

Method Details

convertObjectToXPathValue

public Value convertObjectToXPathValue(Object object,
                                       Configuration config)
            throws XPathException
Convert a Java object to an XPath value. If the supplied object is recognized as a representation of a value using this object model, the object model should convert the value to an XPath value and return this as the result. If not, it should return null. If the object is recognized but cannot be converted, an exception should be thrown
Specified by:
convertObjectToXPathValue in interface ExternalObjectModel

convertToNodeList

public Object convertToNodeList(SequenceExtent extent)
Convert a sequence of values to a NODELIST, as defined in the JAXP XPath API spec. This method is used when the evaluate() request specifies the return type as NODELIST, regardless of the actual results of the expression. If the sequence contains things other than nodes, the fallback is to return the sequence as a Java List object. The method can return null to invoke fallback behaviour.
Specified by:
convertToNodeList in interface ExternalObjectModel

convertXPathValueToObject

public Object convertXPathValueToObject(Value value,
                                        Class targetClass,
                                        XPathContext context)
Convert an XPath value to an object in this object model. If the supplied value can be converted to an object in this model, of the specified class, then the conversion should be done and the resulting object returned. If the value cannot be converted, the method should return null. Note that the supplied class might be a List, in which case the method should inspect the contents of the Value to see whether they belong to this object model.
Specified by:
convertXPathValueToObject in interface ExternalObjectModel

getDocumentBuilder

public Receiver getDocumentBuilder(Result result)
Test whether this object model recognizes a particular kind of JAXP Result object, and if it does, return a Receiver that builds an instance of this data model from a sequence of events. If the Result is not recognised, return null.
Specified by:
getDocumentBuilder in interface ExternalObjectModel

isRecognizedNode

public boolean isRecognizedNode(Object object)
Test whether this object model recognizes a given node as one of its own
Specified by:
isRecognizedNode in interface ExternalObjectModel

isRecognizedNodeClass

public boolean isRecognizedNodeClass(Class nodeClass)
Test whether this object model recognizes a given class as representing a node in that object model. This method will generally be called at compile time.
Specified by:
isRecognizedNodeClass in interface ExternalObjectModel
Parameters:
nodeClass - A class that possibly represents nodes
Returns:
true if the class is used to represent nodes in this object model

isRecognizedNodeListClass

public boolean isRecognizedNodeListClass(Class nodeClass)
Test whether this object model recognizes a given class as representing a list of nodes in that object model. This method will generally be called at compile time.
Specified by:
isRecognizedNodeListClass in interface ExternalObjectModel
Parameters:
nodeClass - A class that possibly represents nodes
Returns:
true if the class is used to represent nodes in this object model

sendSource

public boolean sendSource(Source source,
                          Receiver receiver,
                          PipelineConfiguration pipe)
            throws XPathException
Test whether this object model recognizes a particular kind of JAXP Source object, and if it does, send the contents of the document to a supplied Receiver, and return true. Otherwise, return false.
Specified by:
sendSource in interface ExternalObjectModel

unravel

public NodeInfo unravel(Source source,
                        Configuration config)
Wrap or unwrap a node using this object model to return the corresponding Saxon node. If the supplied source does not belong to this object model, return null
Specified by:
unravel in interface ExternalObjectModel

wrapDocument

public DocumentInfo wrapDocument(Object node,
                                 String baseURI,
                                 Configuration config)
Wrap a document node in the external object model in a document wrapper that implements the Saxon DocumentInfo interface
Specified by:
wrapDocument in interface ExternalObjectModel
Parameters:
node - a node (any node) in the third party document
baseURI - the base URI of the node (supply "" if unknown)
config - the Saxon configuration (which among other things provides access to the NamePool)

the wrapper, which must implement DocumentInfo

wrapNode

public NodeInfo wrapNode(DocumentInfo document,
                         Object node)
Wrap a node within the external object model in a node wrapper that implements the Saxon VirtualNode interface (which is an extension of NodeInfo)
Specified by:
wrapNode in interface ExternalObjectModel
Parameters:
document - the document wrapper, as a DocumentInfo object
node - the node to be wrapped. This must be a node within the document wrapped by the DocumentInfo provided in the first argument
Returns:
the wrapper for the node, as an instance of VirtualNode
