http://xml.apache.org/commons/components/external/: xml-commons provides an Apache-hosted set of DOM, SAX, and JAXP interfaces for use in other xml-based projects. Our hope is that we can standardize on both a common version and packaging scheme for these critical XML standards interfaces to make the lives of both our developers and users easier. The External Components portion of xml-commons contains interfaces that are defined by external standards organizations. For DOM, that's the W3C; for SAX it's David Megginson and sax.sourceforge.net; for JAXP it's Sun.

Default implementation for AttributeList.


This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY.
See http://www.saxproject.org
for further information.



AttributeList implements the deprecated SAX1 AttributeList interface, and has been replaced by the new SAX2 
AttributesImpl interface.


This class provides a convenience implementation of the SAX AttributeList interface. This implementation is useful both for SAX parser writers, who can use it to provide attributes to the application, and for SAX application writers, who can use it to create a persistent copy of an element's attribute specifications:


private AttributeList myatts;
public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts)
{
             // create a persistent copy of the attribute list
             // for use outside this method
  myatts = new AttributeListImpl(atts);
  [...]
}



Please note that SAX parsers are not required to use this
class to provide an implementation of AttributeList; it is
supplied only as an optional convenience.  In particular, 
parser writers are encouraged to invent more efficient
implementations.

attribute list easily.

Add an attribute to an attribute list.

This method is provided for SAX parser writers, to allow them
to build up an attribute list incrementally before delivering
it to the application.


Params:
  • name – The attribute name.
  • type – The attribute type ("NMTOKEN" for an enumeration).
  • value – The attribute value (must not be null).
See Also:

Remove an attribute from the list.

SAX application writers can use this method to filter an
attribute out of an AttributeList.  Note that invoking this
method will change the length of the attribute list and
some of the attribute's indices.


If the requested attribute is not in the list, this is
a no-op.

Clear the attribute list.

SAX parser writers can use this method to reset the attribute
list between DocumentHandler.startElement events.  Normally,
it will make sense to reuse the same AttributeListImpl object
rather than allocating a new one each time.
