  • Method Details

    • dispatchCharactersEvents

      public void dispatchCharactersEvents​(ContentHandler ch) throws SAXException
      Directly call the characters method on the passed ContentHandler for the string-value. Multiple calls to the ContentHandler's characters methods may well occur for a single call to this method.
      Specified by:
      dispatchCharactersEvents in interface XMLString
      Parameters:
      ch - A non-null reference to a ContentHandler.
      Throws:
      SAXException

    • dispatchAsComment

      public void dispatchAsComment​(LexicalHandler lh) throws SAXException
      Directly call the comment method on the passed LexicalHandler for the string-value.
      Specified by:
      dispatchAsComment in interface XMLString
      Parameters:

    • fixWhiteSpace

      public XMLString fixWhiteSpace​(boolean trimHead, boolean trimTail, boolean doublePunctuationSpaces)

    • indexOf

      public int indexOf​(int ch)
      Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character. If a character with value ch occurs in the character sequence represented by this String object, then the index of the first such occurrence is returned -- that is, the smallest value k such that: 
       this.charAt(k) == ch
      is true. If no such character occurs in this string, then -1 is returned.
      Specified by:
      indexOf in interface XMLString
      Parameters:
      ch - a character.
      Returns:
      the index of the first occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object, or -1 if the character does not occur.

    • indexOf

      public int indexOf​(int ch, int fromIndex)
      Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character, starting the search at the specified index.

      If a character with value ch occurs in the character sequence represented by this String object at an index no smaller than fromIndex, then the index of the first such occurrence is returned--that is, the smallest value k such that: 

       (this.charAt(k) == ch) && (k >= fromIndex)
      is true. If no such character occurs in this string at or after position fromIndex, then -1 is returned.

      There is no restriction on the value of fromIndex. If it is negative, it has the same effect as if it were zero: this entire string may be searched. If it is greater than the length of this string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to the length of this string: -1 is returned.

      Specified by:
      indexOf in interface XMLString
      Parameters:
      ch - a character.
      fromIndex - the index to start the search from.
      Returns:
      the index of the first occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object that is greater than or equal to fromIndex, or -1 if the character does not occur.

      is true.
      Specified by:
      lastIndexOf in interface XMLString
      Parameters:
      ch - a character.
      fromIndex - the index to start the search from. There is no restriction on the value of fromIndex. If it is greater than or equal to the length of this string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to one less than the length of this string: this entire string may be searched. If it is negative, it has the same effect as if it were -1: -1 is returned.
      Returns:
      the index of the last occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object that is less than or equal to fromIndex, or -1 if the character does not occur before that point.

      Parameters:
      locale - use the case transformation rules for this locale
      Returns:
      the String, converted to lowercase.

      Character.toLowerCase(char), String.toUpperCase(Locale)

    • toLowerCase

      public XMLString toLowerCase()
      Converts all of the characters in this String to lower case using the rules of the default locale, which is returned by Locale.getDefault.

      Specified by:
      toLowerCase in interface XMLString
      Returns:
      the string, converted to lowercase.
      See Also:
      Character.toLowerCase(char), String.toLowerCase(Locale)

    • toUpperCase

      public XMLString toUpperCase​(Locale locale)
      Converts all of the characters in this String to upper case using the rules of the given locale.
      Specified by:
      toUpperCase in interface XMLString
      Parameters:
      locale - use the case transformation rules for this locale
      Returns:
      the String, converted to uppercase.
      See Also:
      Character.toUpperCase(char), String.toLowerCase(Locale)

    • toUpperCase

      public XMLString toUpperCase()
      Converts all of the characters in this String to upper case using the rules of the default locale, which is returned by Locale.getDefault.

      If no character in this string has a different uppercase version, based on calling the toUpperCase method defined by Character, then the original string is returned.

      Otherwise, this method creates a new String object representing a character sequence identical in length to the character sequence represented by this String object and with every character equal to the result of applying the method Character.toUpperCase to the corresponding character of this String object.

      Examples: 

       "Fahrvergnügen".toUpperCase() returns "FAHRVERGNÜGEN"
 "Visit Ljubinje!".toUpperCase() returns "VISIT LJUBINJE!"
      Specified by:
      toUpperCase in interface XMLString
      Returns:
      the string, converted to uppercase.
      See Also:
      Character.toUpperCase(char), String.toUpperCase(Locale)

    • trim

      public XMLString trim()
      Removes white space from both ends of this string.

      If this String object represents an empty character sequence, or the first and last characters of character sequence represented by this String object both have codes greater than '\u0020' (the space character), then a reference to this String object is returned.

      Otherwise, if there is no character with a code greater than '\u0020' in the string, then a new String object representing an empty string is created and returned.

      Otherwise, let k be the index of the first character in the string whose code is greater than '\u0020', and let m be the index of the last character in the string whose code is greater than '\u0020'. A new String object is created, representing the substring of this string that begins with the character at index k and ends with the character at index m-that is, the result of this.substring(k, m+1).

      This method may be used to trim whitespace from the beginning and end of a string; in fact, it trims all ASCII control characters as well.

      Specified by:
      trim in interface XMLString
      Returns:
      this string, with white space removed from the front and end.

    • toString

      public String toString()
      This object (which is already a string!) is itself returned.
      Specified by:
      toString in interface XMLString
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      the string itself.

    • hasString

      public boolean hasString()
      Tell if this object contains a java String object.
      Specified by:
      hasString in interface XMLString
      Returns:
      true if this XMLString can return a string without creating one.

    • toDouble

      public double toDouble()
      Convert a string to a double -- Allowed input is in fixed notation ddd.fff.
      Specified by:
      toDouble in interface XMLString
      Returns:
      A double value representation of the string, or return Double.NaN if the string can not be converted.
