    • Method Detail

      • 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.

      • setDTDHandler

        public void setDTDHandler​(DTDHandler handler)
        Do-nothing implementation of interface method
        Specified by:
        setDTDHandler in interface XMLReader

      • startElement

        protected void startElement​(org.biojava.bio.program.sax.QName poQName,
                            Attributes atts)
                     throws SAXException
        Utility method to centralize sending of a SAX startElement message to document handler
        Parameters:
        poQName - a QName value
        atts - an Attributes value
        Throws:

        Parameters:
        poQName - -
        Throws:
        SAXException - thrown if
        thrown - if
