Provides data and services which should exist only once per digester.

This class holds a number of useful items which should be shared by all plugin objects. Such data cannot be stored on the PluginRules or PluginManager classes, as there can be multiple instances of these at various times during a parse.

The name "Context" refers to the similarity between this class and a ServletContext class in a servlet engine. A ServletContext object provides access to the container's services such as obtaining global configuration parameters for the container, or getting access to logging services. For plugins, a Digester instance can be regarded as "the container".

Since:1.6

Set the list of RuleFinder objects. This may be useful if working in a non-english language, allowing the application developer to replace the standard list with a list of objects which look for xml attributes in the local language.

If the intent is just to add an additional rule-finding algorithm, then it may be better to call #getRuleFinders, and insert a new object into the start of the list.

Params:
  • ruleFinders – the list of RuleFinder objects

Sets the xml attribute which the input xml uses to indicate to a PluginCreateRule which class should be instantiated.

Example:

setPluginClassAttribute( null, "class" );
will allow this in the input xml:
 <root>
   <some-plugin class="com.acme.widget"> ......
instead of the default syntax:
 <root>
   <some-plugin plugin-class="com.acme.widget"> ......
This is particularly useful if the input xml document is not in English.

Note that the xml attributes used by PluginDeclarationRules are not affected by this method.

Params:
  • namespaceUri – is the namespace uri that the specified attribute is in. If the attribute is in no namespace, then this should be null. Note that if a namespace is used, the attrName value should not contain any kind of namespace-prefix. Note also that if you are using a non-namespace-aware parser, this parameter must be null.
  • attrName – is the attribute whose value contains the name of the class to be instantiated.
/** * Sets the xml attribute which the input xml uses to indicate to a PluginCreateRule which class should be * instantiated. * <p> * Example: * * <pre> * setPluginClassAttribute( null, &quot;class&quot; ); * </pre> * * will allow this in the input xml: * * <pre> * &lt;root&gt; * &lt;some-plugin class="com.acme.widget"&gt; ...... * </pre> * * instead of the default syntax: * * <pre> * &lt;root&gt; * &lt;some-plugin plugin-class="com.acme.widget"&gt; ...... * </pre> * * This is particularly useful if the input xml document is not in English. * <p> * Note that the xml attributes used by PluginDeclarationRules are not affected by this method. * * @param namespaceUri is the namespace uri that the specified attribute is in.

public void setPluginClassAttribute( String namespaceUri, String attrName ) { pluginClassAttrNs = namespaceUri; pluginClassAttr = attrName; }
Sets the xml attribute which the input xml uses to indicate to a PluginCreateRule which plugin declaration is being referenced.

Example:

setPluginIdAttribute( null, "id" );
will allow this in the input xml:
 <root>
   <some-plugin id="widget"> ......
rather than the default behaviour:
 <root>
   <some-plugin plugin-id="widget"> ......
This is particularly useful if the input xml document is not in English.

Note that the xml attributes used by PluginDeclarationRules are not affected by this method.

Params:
  • namespaceUri – is the namespace uri that the specified attribute is in. If the attribute is in no namespace, then this should be null. Note that if a namespace is used, the attrName value should not contain any kind of namespace-prefix. Note also that if you are using a non-namespace-aware parser, this parameter must be null.
  • attrName – is the attribute whose value contains the id of the plugin declaration to be used when instantiating an object.
