Luca,
The only thing that I can tell is that some of the events in your consumer really
aren't being passed along, you're just logging the event. I suppose this might affect
the process. My consumer implements and passes along EVERY single event aside from
start/end-Document. I'll show that code below. Just to note though, I didn't not
extend AbstractXMLConsumer, I implemented the XMLConsumer interface. I'm not sure how
this would change things. Also, your code to perform the parsing looks correct, but
you directly create a XercesParser whereas I went on ahead and used the Avalon parsing
component (after all, we are coding a new component for Cocoon). So here is that code
snippet:
Parser parser;
try {
parser = (Parser) this.manager.lookup(Parser.ROLE);
} catch(ComponentException ce) {
// Failed to get it, so no need to try releasing it (probably null anyway).
throw new SAXException(ce);
}
try {
InputSource source = new InputSource(new StringReader(content));
// XMLConsumer implements both ContentHandler and LexicalHandler.
ContentPassingXMLConsumer handler =
new ContentPassingXMLConsumer(super.xmlConsumer);
parser.parse(source, handler, handler);
} catch(Exception e) {
throw new SAXException(e);
} finally {
this.manager.release(parser);
}
And finally, here is my consumer:
public class ContentPassingXMLConsumer implements XMLConsumer {
protected XMLConsumer xmlConsumer;
public ContentPassingXMLConsumer(XMLConsumer xmlConsumer) {
this.xmlConsumer = xmlConsumer;
}
public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
// The document is going to be embedded, so don't send this event.
}
public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch, int start, int length)
throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.ignorableWhitespace(ch, start, length);
}
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.characters(ch, start, length);
}
public void endEntity(String name) throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.endEntity(name);
}
public void processingInstruction(String target, String data)
throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.processingInstruction(target, data);
}
public void startPrefixMapping(String prefix, String uri)
throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.startPrefixMapping(prefix, uri);
}
public void endDTD() throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.endDTD();
}
public void skippedEntity(String name) throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.skippedEntity(name);
}
public void endDocument() throws SAXException {
// As with startDocument, don't send this event.
}
public void startDTD(String name, String publicId, String systemId)
throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.startDTD(name, publicId, systemId);
}
public void endCDATA() throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.endCDATA();
}
public void startCDATA() throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.startCDATA();
}
public void comment(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.comment(ch, start, length);
}
public void setDocumentLocator(Locator locator) {
this.xmlConsumer.setDocumentLocator(locator);
}
public void endPrefixMapping(String prefix) throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.endPrefixMapping(prefix);
}
public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName,
String qName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.startElement(namespaceURI, localName, qName, atts);
}
public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName)
throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.endElement(namespaceURI, localName, qName);
}
public void startEntity(String name) throws SAXException {
this.xmlConsumer.startEntity(name);
}
}
This implements absolutely every method of XMLConsumer (ContentHandler and
LexicalHandler) and passes all but the document methods on. I really don't know what
else to tell you about why your code won't work. Again, I suspect it's either because
you extend AbstractXMLConsumer and don't quite implement all the methods or because
you're directly using a XercesParser instead of the Avalon parser. Hope this helps.
