Class CMDXMLParser

class CMDXMLParser : public CActive;

Description

Creates a DOM structure from a given XML file.

The parsing operation is asynchronous and is initiated by a call to CMDXMLParser::ParseFile(RFs,const TDesC &). On completion, the created DOM document can be retrieved through CMDXMLParser::DetachXMLDoc().

Note the following ownership rules for the DOM document:

1. calling CMDXMLParser::DetachXMLDoc() transfers ownership of the document to the client

2. if the parser is asked to parse a new file while it still owns an existing DOM document, it will delete the old document.

Description

Allocates and constructs a new XML parser, specifying a DTD.

Parameters

MMDXMLParserObserver *aParserObserver

XML parser observer

Return value

New XML parser

Leave codes

KErrNoMemory

Out of memory

Description

Allocates and constructs a new XML parser, specifying a DTD.

Parameters

MMDXMLParserObserver *aParserObserver

XML parser observer

MXMLDtd *aDtdRepresentation

DTD validator

Return value

CMDXMLParser *

New XML parser

Leave codes

KErrNoMemory

Out of memory


NewLC(MMDXMLParserObserver *)

IMPORT_C static CMDXMLParser* NewLC(MMDXMLParserObserver *aParserObserver);

Description

Allocates and constructs a new XML parser, leaving the object on the cleanup stack.

Parameters

MMDXMLParserObserver *aParserObserver

XML parser observer

Return value

CMDXMLParser *

New XML parser

Leave codes

KErrNoMemory

Out of memory


NewLC(MMDXMLParserObserver *,MXMLDtd *)

IMPORT_C static CMDXMLParser* NewLC(MMDXMLParserObserver *aParserObserver, MXMLDtd *aDtdRepresentation);

Description

Allocates and constructs a new XML parser, leaving the object on the cleanup stack.

Parameters

MMDXMLParserObserver *aParserObserver

~CMDXMLParser()

IMPORT_C ~CMDXMLParser();

Description

Destructor.

Member functions


Error()const

IMPORT_C TInt Error() const;

Description

Gets the last error found by the parser.

Return value

TInt

Error code


ErrorSeverity()const

IMPORT_C TXMLErrorCodeSeverity ErrorSeverity() const;

Description

Get the severity of the most severe error found.

Return value

TXMLErrorCodeSeverity

the maximum error severity


DetachXMLDoc()

IMPORT_C CMDXMLDocument* DetachXMLDoc();

Description

Gets the created DOM.

This should be called after the conclusion of the parser process.

Note that the function sets the internal variable pointing to the document to NULL, so this function can only be called once per file parse. The caller takes ownership of the document, and must delete it when its use is complete.

Return value

CMDXMLDocument *

The created DOM


ParseFile(RFs,const TDesC &)

IMPORT_C TInt ParseFile(RFs aRFs, const TDesC &aFileToParse);

Description

Parses a specified XML file into a DOM object tree.

Parameters

RFs aRFs

File server session

const TDesC16 &aFileToParse

The file name to parse

Return value

TInt

KErrNone if success or a file read error code


ParseFile(RFile &)

IMPORT_C TInt ParseFile(RFile &aFileHandleToParse);

Description

Parses a specified XML file into a DOM object tree.

Parses a specified XML file into a DOM object tree using an open file handle. The parser takes ownership of the open file handle and will close handle when completed.

Parameters

RFile &aFileHandleToParse

An open file handle for the file to parse. Ownership of the file handle is passed.

Return value

TInt

KErrNone if successful.


ParseSource(MMDXMLParserDataProvider *)

inline void ParseSource(MMDXMLParserDataProvider *aSource);

Description

Parses a specified XML Data Source into a DOM object tree. Use CMDXMLParser::ParseSourceL(MMDXMLParserDataProvider *) function in preference to CMDXMLParser::ParseSource(MMDXMLParserDataProvider *)

Parameters

MMDXMLParserDataProvider *aSource

MMDXMLParserDataProvider pointer


ParseSourceL(MMDXMLParserDataProvider *)

IMPORT_C void ParseSourceL(MMDXMLParserDataProvider *aSource);

Description

Parses a specified XML Data Source into a DOM object tree.

Parameters

MMDXMLParserDataProvider *aSource

MMDXMLParserDataProvider pointer


SetSourceCharacterWidth(TMDXMLParserInputCharWidth)

IMPORT_C void SetSourceCharacterWidth(TMDXMLParserInputCharWidth aWidth);

Description

Sets the input stream character width.

Parameters

CMDXMLParser::TMDXMLParserInputCharWidth aWidth

Character width for incoming stream. Possible values are EAscii and EUnicode (representing Ascii/UTF8 and Unicode respectively).


SetEntityConverter(CMDXMLEntityConverter *)

IMPORT_C void SetEntityConverter(CMDXMLEntityConverter *aEntityConverter);

Description

Sets the entity converter to be used for parsing. and take ownership of the passed entity converter

Parameters

CMDXMLEntityConverter *aEntityConverter

the entity converter to be used.


SetStoreInvalid(TBool)

IMPORT_C void SetStoreInvalid(TBool aStoreInvalid);

Description

Controls whether invalid elements and attributes are added to the DOM.

Parameters

TBool aStoreInvalid

ETrue if invalid content should be stored, EFalse otherwise.


SetWhiteSpaceHandlingMode(TBool)

IMPORT_C void SetWhiteSpaceHandlingMode(TBool aPreserve);

Description

Controls whether whitespaces are handled by XML parser or by client.

Parameters

TBool aPreserve

ETrue if all whitespaces should be preserved (handled by client), EFalse otherwise.


DoCancel()

private: IMPORT_C virtual void DoCancel();

Description

Implements cancellation of an outstanding request.

This function is called as part of the active object's CActive::Cancel().

It must call the appropriate cancel function offered by the active object's asynchronous service provider. The asynchronous service provider's cancel is expected to act immediately.

CMDXMLParser::DoCancel() must not wait for event completion; this is handled by CActive::Cancel().

See also:


RunL()

private: virtual void RunL();

Description

Handles an active object's request completion event.

A derived class must provide an implementation to handle the completed request. If appropriate, it may issue another request.

The function is called by the active scheduler when a request completion event occurs, i.e. after the active scheduler's WaitForAnyRequest() function completes.

Before calling this active object's CMDXMLParser::RunL() function, the active scheduler has:

1. decided that this is the highest priority active object with a completed request

2. marked this active object's request as complete (i.e. the request is no longer outstanding)

CMDXMLParser::RunL() runs under a trap harness in the active scheduler. If it leaves, then the active scheduler calls CMDXMLParser::RunError(TInt) to handle the leave.

Note that once the active scheduler's Start() function has been called, all user code is run under one of the program's active object's CMDXMLParser::RunL() or CMDXMLParser::RunError(TInt) functions.
