Parameters:

stream - output stream

ToTextContentHandler

public ToTextContentHandler(OutputStream stream,
                            String encoding)
                     throws UnsupportedEncodingException

Parameters:

stream - output stream

encoding - output encoding

Throws:

Method Detail

characters

public void characters(char[] ch,
                       int start,
                       int length)
                throws SAXException

Writes the given characters to the given character stream.

Specified by:

characters in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

characters in class org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

Throws:

SAXException

ignorableWhitespace

public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch,
                                int start,
                                int length)
                         throws SAXException

Writes the given ignorable characters to the given character stream. The default implementation simply forwards the call to the characters(char[], int, int) method.

Specified by:

ignorableWhitespace in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

ignorableWhitespace in class org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

Throws:

SAXException

endDocument

public void endDocument()
                 throws SAXException

Flushes the character stream so that no characters are forgotten in internal buffers.

Specified by:

endDocument in interface ContentHandler

Overrides:

endDocument in class org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

Throws:
