Class AttributesImplSerializer


public final class AttributesImplSerializer
extends AttributesImpl

This class extends org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl which implements org. xml.sax.Attributes. But for optimization this class adds a Hashtable for faster lookup of an index by qName, which is commonly done in the stream serializer.
See Also:
org.xml.sax.Attributes

Method Summary

void
addAttribute(String uri, String local, String qname, String type, String val)
This method adds the attribute, but also records its qName/index pair in the hashtable for fast lookup by getIndex(qName).
void
clear()
This method clears the accumulated attributes.
int
getIndex(String qname)
This method gets the index of an attribute given its qName.
int
getIndex(String uri, String localName)
This method gets the index of an attribute given its uri and locanName.
void
setAttributes(Attributes atts)
This method sets the attributes, previous attributes are cleared, it also keeps the hashtable up to date for quick lookup via getIndex(qName).
