Class DTDSubset

java.lang.Object
  com.ctc.wstx.dtd.DTDSubset

Direct Known Subclasses:

DTDSubsetImpl

public abstract class DTDSubset

extends java.lang.Object

This is the abstract base class that defines API for Objects that contain specification read from DTDs (internal and external subsets).

API is separated from its implementations so that different XML reader subsets can be created; specifically ones with no DTD processing functionality.

Method Summary

abstract DTDSubset	combineWithExternalSubset(InputProblemReporter rep, DTDSubset extSubset) Method that will combine definitions from this internal subset with definitions from passed-in external subset, producing a new combined DTDSubset instance.

combineWithExternalSubset

public abstract DTDSubset combineWithExternalSubset(InputProblemReporter rep,
                                                    DTDSubset extSubset)
                                             throws WstxException

Method that will combine definitions from this internal subset with definitions from passed-in external subset, producing a new combined DTDSubset instance.

Throws:

WstxException

isCachable

public abstract boolean isCachable()

getGeneralEntityMap

public abstract java.util.HashMap getGeneralEntityMap()

getGeneralEntityList

public abstract java.util.List getGeneralEntityList()

getParameterEntityMap

public abstract java.util.HashMap getParameterEntityMap()

getNotationMap

public abstract java.util.HashMap getNotationMap()

getNotationList

public abstract java.util.List getNotationList()

getElementMap

public abstract java.util.HashMap getElementMap()

isReusableWith

public abstract boolean isReusableWith(DTDSubset intSubset)

Method used in determining whether cached external subset instance can be used with specified internal subset. If ext. subset references any parameter entities int subset (re-)defines, it can not; otherwise it can be used.

Returns:

True if this (external) subset refers to a parameter entity defined in passed-in internal subset.
