Interface CustomXmlDataStorage

All Known Implementing Classes:

CustomXmlDataStorageImpl

public interface CustomXmlDataStorage

Interface to provide access to the data stored in a CustomXmlDataStoragePart. This approach gives the user flexibility as to whether they use eg JAXB or DOM or dom4j to represent and manipulate their data.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
String	cachedXPathGetString(String xpath, String prefixMappings)	(Unless you are using Saxon as your XPath implementation (XPathFactoryUtil.setxPathFactory)) this uses org.apache.xpath.CachedXPathAPI for better performance, since Apache's old XPathAPI class, have the drawback of instantiating a new XPathContext (and thus building a new DTMManager, and new DTMs) each time it was called.
void	discardCacheXPathObject()	Use this to null out the org.apache.xpath.CachedXPathAPI object, which you should do if you've changed your source document, or want to reclaim memory.
CustomXmlDataStorage	factory()	Create this object.
Document	getDocument()	Write the contents of this object to the org.w3c.dom.Document
String	getXML()	Get the XML as a String.
void	setDocument(InputStream is)	Set the contents of this object from the input stream
void	setDocument(Document doc)
boolean	setNodeValueAtXPath(String xpath, String value, String prefixMappings)
void	writeDocument(OutputStream os)	Write the contents of this object to the output stream
List<Node>	xpathGetNodes(String xpathString, String prefixMappings)
String	xpathGetString(String xpath, String prefixMappings)	Get the data pointed to by the xpath.

Method Details

factory

CustomXmlDataStorage factory()

Create this object.

Returns:

xpathGetString

String xpathGetString(String xpath,
 String prefixMappings)
               throws Docx4JException

Get the data pointed to by the xpath. (return what if it points at a non-existent??)

Parameters:

xpath -

Returns:

Throws:

Docx4JException

cachedXPathGetString

String cachedXPathGetString(String xpath,
 String prefixMappings)
                     throws Docx4JException

(Unless you are using Saxon as your XPath implementation (XPathFactoryUtil.setxPathFactory)) this uses org.apache.xpath.CachedXPathAPI for better performance, since Apache's old XPathAPI class, have the drawback of instantiating a new XPathContext (and thus building a new DTMManager, and new DTMs) each time it was called. XPathAPIObject instead retains its context as long as the object persists, reusing the DTMs. If you are using Saxon, then the cache won't be used.

Parameters:

xpath -

prefixMappings -

Returns:

Throws:

Docx4JException

3.3.1
