Initialises internal state Sets namespace prefix to "biojava"

Method Detail

parse

public void parse(InputSource poSource)
           throws IOException,
                  SAXException

Describe 'parse' method here.

Specified by:

parse in interface XMLReader

Parameters:

poSource - -

Throws:

IOException

SAXException

setContentHandler

public void setContentHandler(ContentHandler poHandler)

Allow an application to register a content event handler. If the application does not register a content handler, all content events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored.

Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.

Specified by:

setContentHandler in interface XMLReader

Parameters:

poHandler - a ContentHandler The XML content handler

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the handler argument is null

getContentHandler

public ContentHandler getContentHandler()

Return the content handler.

Specified by:

getContentHandler in interface XMLReader

Returns:

a ContentHandler The current content handler, or null if none has been registered.

parse

public void parse(String poSystemId)
           throws IOException,
                  SAXException

Full implementation of interface method.

Specified by:

Throws:

IOException

SAXException

                          SAXNotSupportedException

Do-nothing implementation of interface method

Specified by:

getFeature in interface XMLReader

Throws:

SAXNotRecognizedException

setFeature

public void setFeature(String poName,
              boolean value)

Handles support for ReasoningDomain and Namespace-prefixes

Specified by:

setFeature in interface XMLReader

Throws:

SAXNotRecognizedException

SAXNotSupportedException

getProperty
