Class SAXEventRecorder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Externalizable, Serializable, ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler, DeclHandler, LexicalHandler
    public class SAXEventRecorder
extends DefaultHandler
implements LexicalHandler, DeclHandler, DTDHandler, Externalizable

    Records SAX events such that they may be "replayed" at a later time. Provides an alternative serialization approach when externalizing a DOM4J document. Rather than serializing a document as text and re-parsing, the sax events may be serialized instead.

    Example usage: 
     
  
  
         SAXEventRecorder recorder = new SAXEventRecorder();
         SAXWriter saxWriter = new SAXWriter(recorder, recorder);
         saxWriter.write(document);
         out.writeObject(recorder);
         ...
         SAXEventRecorder recorder = (SAXEventRecorder)in.readObject();
         SAXContentHandler saxContentHandler = new SAXContentHandler();
         recorder.replay(saxContentHandler);
         Document document = saxContentHandler.getDocument();
