Method Detail

getBaseSystemId

public String getBaseSystemId()

Returns the base system identifier.

getCharacterOffset

public int getCharacterOffset()

Returns the character offset, or -1 if no character offset is available.

getColumnNumber

public int getColumnNumber()

Returns the column number, or -1 if no column number is available.

Returns the encoding of the current entity. Note that, for a given entity, this value can only be considered final once the encoding declaration has been read (or once it has been determined that there is no such declaration) since, no encoding having been specified on the XMLInputSource, the parser will make an initial "guess" which could be in error.

getExpandedSystemId

public String getExpandedSystemId()

Returns the expanded system identifier.

getLineNumber

public int getLineNumber()

Returns the line number, or -1 if no line number is available.

getLiteralSystemId

public String getLiteralSystemId()

Returns the literal system identifier.

getPublicId

public String getPublicId()

Returns the public identifier.

getXMLVersion

public String getXMLVersion()

Returns the XML version of the current entity. This will normally be the value from the XML or text declaration or defaulted by the parser. Note that that this value may be different than the version of the processing rules applied to the current entity. For instance, an XML 1.1 document may refer to XML 1.0 entities. In such a case the rules of XML 1.1 are applied to the entire document. Also note that, for a given entity, this value can only be considered final once the XML or text declaration has been read or once it has been determined that there is no such declaration.
