DefaultConfigurationSerializer

public DefaultConfigurationSerializer()

Method Detail

setIndent

public void setIndent(boolean indent)

Sets the Serializer's use of indentation. This will cause linefeeds to be added after each element, but it does not add any indentation via spaces.

Parameters:

indent - a boolean value

createContentHandler

protected ContentHandler createContentHandler(Result result)

Create a ContentHandler for an OutputStream

Parameters:

result - the result

Returns:

contenthandler that goes to specified OutputStream

getTransformerFactory

protected SAXTransformerFactory getTransformerFactory()

Get the SAXTransformerFactory so we can get a serializer without being tied to one vendor.

Returns:

a SAXTransformerFactory value

serialize

public void serialize(ContentHandler handler,
                      Configuration source)
               throws SAXException,
                      ConfigurationException

Serialize the configuration to a ContentHandler

Parameters:

handler - a ContentHandler to serialize to

source - a Configuration value

Throws:

SAXException - if an error occurs

ConfigurationException - if an error occurs

serializeElement

protected void serializeElement(ContentHandler handler,
                                NamespaceSupport namespaceSupport,
                                Configuration element)
                         throws SAXException,
                                ConfigurationException

Serialize each Configuration element. This method is called recursively.

Parameters:

handler - a ContentHandler to use

namespaceSupport - a NamespaceSupport to use

element - a Configuration value

Throws:

SAXException - if an error occurs

ConfigurationException - if an error occurs

serializeToFile

public void serializeToFile(String filename,
                            Configuration source)
                     throws SAXException,
                            IOException,
                            ConfigurationException

Serialize the configuration object to a file using a filename.

Parameters:

filename - a String value

source - a Configuration value

Throws:

SAXException - if an error occurs

IOException - if an error occurs

ConfigurationException - if an error occurs

serializeToFile

public void serializeToFile(File file,
                            Configuration source)
                     throws SAXException,
                            IOException,
                            ConfigurationException

Serialize the configuration object to a file using a File object.

Parameters:

file - a File value

source - a Configuration value

Throws:

SAXException - if an error occurs

IOException - if an error occurs

ConfigurationException - if an error occurs

serialize

public void serialize(OutputStream outputStream,
                      Configuration source)
               throws SAXException,
                      IOException,
                      ConfigurationException

Serialize the configuration object to an output stream.

Parameters:

outputStream - an OutputStream value

source - a Configuration value

Throws:

SAXException - if an error occurs

IOException - if an error occurs

ConfigurationException - if an error occurs

serialize

public void serialize(String uri,
                      Configuration source)
               throws SAXException,
                      IOException,
                      ConfigurationException

Serialize the configuration object to an output stream derived from an URI. The URI must be resolveable by the java.net.URL object.

Parameters:
